So this is my treadmill. Yup! All mine. Okay so it doesn't have my name on it but it SHOULD. I have run more miles on this treadmill than I care to mention. Well over 100. My first 5K ever...this treadmill. My first 5 mile run...this treadmill. My first 10 mile run...you got it...this treadmill. When I did my 20 mile run, 15 of them were on this one. I needed a change in scenery for the last file miles so I changed...but this treadmill and I are thick as thieves!! In fact this treadmill is giving me my sanity back while I recover from surgery. While it isn't set to its normal 7.0 setting, the 2.0 setting is working for the moment. So you might ask WHY I would run this much on a treadmill. Well in this town we have 2 seasons...F'ing hot and F'ing cold. It just so happens that I don't care so much about running in those two conditions. So I train A LOT on here. There are many benefits to treadmill training...but the biggest one is the mental training. If you can run 20 miles on a treadmill...you can run a marathon with very few problems!
