The other day I got on my treadmill only to discover that it would no longer incline or decline. I had it at a 2% and I wanted to raise it up to work my legs a little harder...it wouldn't move. I was so sad, I called Aaron at work and almost cried! I got over it and realized that as long as it still goes, I am ok...that is all I really need anyway. Tonight I went to get on it and it was completely broken!! It would turn on when I put the magnet on, but then the screen would go all funky and then shut off. I really freaked out then! Aaron came upstairs and asked what was wrong..I retold my saddening discovery. My emotions were a mix of mad and sad at the same time. Mad because it just seems like one thing or the other is going awry lately and sad because I am in major need of some emotional release and running has become a necessity for my sanity. And, I know there are people that don't have treadmills and run outside, but I am not one of those people!! I was so distraught thinking of having to run at night outside rather than in the morning inside. I am probably one of a small group of people that can actually run 20 miles on a treadmill, most people I talk to...their max is about 5-8.
Aaron took the panel off and took it apart to the circuit board. He looked at it, played with it here and there, I left the room for some of it...I was too emotional! (I know it's pretty pathetic to be so emotional over a treadmill.) He put it back together, put the panel back on the treadmill and bada-bing bada-boom......IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! It even inclines and declines again!!! My man is AMAZING and so freakin' smart it amazes me!!!! He fixed it, I am so happy and excited!!! He just made some major brownie points......oh I am so happy!! I love my husband, he is the best man in the world!! He is so great....I am so glad he is mine!!!

Holly molly! SO glad to get in touch with you again. So are you serious that you really run that far on a treadmill? You are amazing. I am running the red rock relay in a couple of weeks, you should totally run for me if that is the case, because I am going to die for sure. Your family looks adorable. I would love catch up with you out side of blogger! Here is my e-mail if you would like...jzufelt@hotmail.com
funny I was just reading through your older posts,and I had no idea that you really are a great runner. How cool is that! And then I found that same video I had posted about. Funny funny! So what is the next run you are going to do? I am learning to like running again, but I have to get all this baby fat off and then I am sure it will go better!
