yes, that's right...our treadmill "went capoot" this morning. i was getting ready for the circus & i hear the treadmill start & i thought, "oh good, derek's getting some use out of the treadmill too". then i thought i was hearing things, it started making sounds that i'd never heard it make when i run on it...but i just think to myself, "wow, maybe he's just really pushing it to it's limit (but he's only walking on it, that's strange)". about 10 minutes goes by and all of a sudden i hear a noise like the treadmill was actually screaming, "get off of me!" okay, i'm being a little dramatic, but it sure was a horriffic sound". then, nothing...silence. so, as i'm doing my hair, i call in to the other room, "ummmm, babe, what was that noise?" and derek tells me that he thinks he broke it. great!i go in there so investigate & sure enough...it was too late, it even smelled like smoke. so, if anyone lives in SoCal and has a treadmill they don't use...i want it! (no, i'm not begging for it, we'll pay for it if it's cheap). in the meantime, i'll be treadmill window-shopping online.

That is a major bummer! Do you enjoy running outside or are you a tv excerciser? It is pretty hot outside right now.
hey jacinda~i really enjoy running outside, but i can't because after a couple of weeks or so of that, my knees & ankles are killing me...i guess it's too high impact, so the treadmill is easier on my joints. i blame that on the fact that i was in gymnastics for like 7 years when i was a kid. but, yeah...it's too bad cuz i'd much rather be outside. :(
