No, not the end of an exceptionally cute child running on the treadmill. The end of the Reebok ACD1. With a dead motor, my husband and I dragged it out to the curb last night. I planned to take a pitiful photo of it on the curb, but by daylight, it was already gone... all 300 lbs. of it. I'm still baffled at how someone drove by and just "tossed" it into the back of the truck. It took all our strength to get it to the curb.
And today... wait for it...
Yeah, come to your new mama...
Come on... a little closer...
And closer...
Ah, safe at home in the garage for tonight... We'll move you to your rightful home on Sunday.
Tonight we are headed to Cleburne for a quick birthday celebration. We'll sleep at the in-law's tonight, then I'll wake up bright and early and run the Bud E. Boo Half Marathon. Head back to the in-law's, clean up, then have a birthday lunch with the family. Then we'll make the trip straight back home.
Thank you to all of you who gave advice to me yesterday. Some of you know me too well and know that missing a race would involve bed-ridden illness or heavily bloodied limbs. So, yes, I will be running tomorrow. I'll determine pace AFTER I start out. Last year, only 24 people crossed the finish line for the half, so it'll be small, and I'm worried about boredom affecting my pace more than anything! But we'll see. I did rest, and I did not run today.

Best of luck tomorrow, you will do great!! Love the new treadmill.
Ah - another type A runner!!!! ;) Enjoy the new treadmill and the race tomorrow. See you next weekend for DRC!! I'm getting excited.
What is it with everyone's treadmills breaking lately? I'm worried for mine. But congrats on the new one and good luck at your half!
Marcia - Mine was very very old... at least 12 years. The motor burned and could've been replaced (for more than the tread was worth, but still), but honestly, the deck was way too short for me and it had other minor issues.
Sherry - Looking forward to it as well... and looking forward to taking that one nice and easy and feeling good... maybe we'll take blog photos while we run the DRC one since we're not concerned about "racing" it.
how exciting! good luck tomorrow
Soooo awesome. A new treadmill that's like a 4 karat diamond to me.
Rock the race!!
Best wishes with the race.
One year we dragged an old barbeque to the curb and were also surprised at how fast it was gone
Good girl for resting today!! Have fun tomorrow!
Thumbs up on the new treadmill! Good luck tomorrow!
woohoo! I'd get one if it came with that cute kid =)
Congrats on the new treadmill!
I'm sure you rocked the race :)
Happy early Halloween!
Very exciting to get a new treadmill. I would love to have a new one too. Maybe for XMAS!?
You're likely running the race right now, and doing great!:) Looking forward to the race report!
Awesome! I wish we had room for treadmill! So much time it would free up...to run on the treadmill at quiet time/nap time instead of trying to carve out time after my husband gets home and I'm too EXHAUSTED to go to the gym! :)
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! ;)
