  • Treadmill for 30 bucks!

    A friend of work was mentioning how he wanted to train to run the half marathon here in Houston next year. I am most definatly not a runner but I told him that I would train with him. I like to workout in the mornings though and he said no way was he getting up at 4:30. Ok, fine, then we'll train at different times and then get together and run one day a week or something. But I want a treadmill, right then my other co-worker walks in and says her brother is selling a treadmill. She calls him, turns out it's 30 bucks, and it WORKS. It's been sitting in his garage and he is just trying to get rid of it. Supposedly it has an incline and everything.

    I don't much care if it only works for a month, I am going this weekend over there and picking that sucker up! I can't believe it, it was so fortunate that she walked in right when we were talking about that. I am going to start training probably next week and when I can run 3 miles without stopping I'll probably get together with Tom to run on Saturdays or something at Memorial Park. LOL, I don't want to embarrass myself, I can't even run a mile right now without stopping, bending over, and wanting to die.

    Anyway, this is so increadibly fortunate that I just had to share, hooray!

        That sounds fantastic ... I'd like to eventually job/run ... but walking takes it out of me right now. I actually spent $3,000 on a treadmill 10 years ago and it still works perfectly (probably cuz I never really used it)!!! I'm back on it now though. Good job finding one for $30 ... that's amazing!!!!!
