What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction."

Henry Ward Beecher

It's a New Day

Today was the first official "get up early and use the treadmill" day.  We got it assembled yesterday and tried it out.

Very slick.

Tom, Sam, and I huddled around it, punching buttons and watching it go through its paces.   Level 10 is ridiculous! We're calling that "The Bionic Man" level. 

I briefly took it up to level 4, I think Tom took it up to level 5, and Sam took it up to level 6. 

I'm starting out slowly and building up both speed and distance.  Incline will come later.  Much later if this morning is any indication.

I'd show you a picture, but the treadmill is located in a storage room in our basement--not a pretty sight.  The view from the treadmill, overlooking the freezer, is a bookshelf jumbled with old home schooling materials, the big dogfood bin, and a clothes rack.  I'm thinking that looking at that for a few mornings will inspire me to fix up clean up that room!

When I came upstairs to grab my coffee and start feeding the dogs and letting them outside, the birds were singing their fool heads off!  It felt positively balmy outside this morning at 34 degrees.  We're supposed to get up to 43 degrees this afternoon, with rain.

 Time to get ready for church now.

Woohoo! I still walk level on my treadmill :)
I posted my Brown Plate Special early (today) because tomorrow is my bloggy birthday and I have to drive into town to meet up with my family to visit with an old pastor of ours from 36 years ago!
Have a wonderful day enjoying our Creator and His world including the birdies singing....

Hurrah for treadmills! They're great, especially during bad weather. I'm glad you're pleased with the one you chose.
