Ok gals...I'm 'weighing in' on my new treadmill....
I LOVE IT!!!
I really wouldn't "compare" it to running outdoors in the beautiful sun, with a cool breeze of fresh air blowing in my face (as their really is NO COMPARISON), but I must say....it does have it's advantages and is a nice "change of pace". I love the fact that the Landice has the BEST shock absorbers available on any treadmill...so no sore ankles and as such I can run longer. I also love the fact that I can adjust the incline (something I can't do at the park)...and as such this allows me to keep challenging myself and increase in strength and endurance. As I said...it has ups and downs...but overall...I really LOVE IT!
So glad to finally get back to living....it really does help sooooo very much...I feel great for the first time since my brother died. Oh and..if that wasn't enough my daughter just advised me that she is moving out of the state and taking my 2 grandkids with her (5 & 6 yrs of age - boy & girl)
At this point I'm just numb...so you can just stick a fork in me....I'm done!
If I can feel good after a week like this..I think you all may want to look into this "running" thing...may be something about those endorphins..works better than prozac (which was my other alternative!
)
*EDIT* Oh...I ran my personal best today - 2.8 miles without walking at between 3.5 -4.0 mph (mostly 4.0 mph) and that included 1-3% incline (mostly 3%)!!!
Have a great day all!
