I Won At Treadmill!

Long time no see, right? Well, I've been slacking, but that's besides the point. Slacking time is over and now it's crunch time.

Chuze Fitness has really been a blessing. I enjoy going there much more than I did Bally Fitness and having Julie to go along with me is an added bonus. It's one measly hour an evening and I totally have no reason to justify not going.

So, yes, I beat the treadmill. I originally intended to go 5 miles but the machine wouldn't let me go beyond 60:00. Not matter how many times I pushed the button. In my world, that's a win. Granted, I was going at a paltry 3.5 mph, but that's further than I've gone, without being chased, since the early part of the millenium.

I like to spend one day a week at the gym doing nothing but treadmill. Next week I'll best it and get my 5 miles in, even if I have to make the readout say TILT.

Welcome back! Don't worry - we have a liberal attendance policy.

I can tell you right now, the treadmill will always beat me in The Race to 60 Minutes.

How was it tonight?

I'm sad I've not been going with you but that should turn around soon!

Congratulations to you, Bart! Go ahead and tilt the machine. Whatever you need to do to get it done. And good to see you here!
