Breathe. Breathe.

I just bought a treadmill. Breathe. I hate shelling out large sums of cash like that. It tends to make me hyperventilate. It's really cool, though. I can progam in the Learn to Run 10K program, even the later parts with the inclines. Now I just need to figure out how I can watch television while I'm running. I'm thinking one of those little TV-and-DVD-in-one deals like Mom has.

I'm a goin' running!

P.S. Em, Joey Brammier sold it to me. I didn't know it was him until I'd signed all the paperwork and he gave me his card. He seemed apologetic for giving you crap.

6:33 PM, January 08, 2006, Technomage: OMG - Where did you put it? Personally I used an Airodyne bike, but it makes some much noise that I have to use wireless headphone to hear the TV.
6:54 PM, January 08, 2006, Mindi Scott: Ooooh! I'm jealous! (But not as jealous as I'd be if you got new windows!) I hope you love it.
7:10 PM, January 08, 2006, Amanda: I don't have it yet (it comes on Wednesday), but I'm going to put it in the basement. That's the only place where there's room.
10:45 PM, January 08, 2006, jenn: That is so freaken cool! I think Jim and I will be going this route in the future - but for now I've got my gym membership.

Personal treadmills are THE BOMB!
10:54 PM, January 08, 2006, Ems: I'd like to talk to him. He was such a dick to me in HS. where does he work? Interesting.
12:29 AM, January 09, 2006, Chelsea: I was recently thinking how nice it would be to have a treadmill so I could work-out at home. I should start doing my yoga and pilates tapes again. They can entertain me while I am jobless!!!
3:03 AM, January 09, 2006, Meghan: Treadmills rock - and they are the best piece of exercise equiptment from which to watch T.V.

Enjoy!
3:42 AM, January 09, 2006, CosmicAvatar: Brilliant! I hope it works well for you. I'd love to have one.
12:29 PM, January 09, 2006, Amanda: He was working at 2nd Wind in Coralville, out there by the mall. I was suprised, I thought he was still doing The Pit, but I don't remember seeing advertisements for it lately. We all know how well workout facilities in Wilton do.
1:35 PM, January 09, 2006, Dogeared: I'm so jealous! I want a treadmill! I can't go running outside now, because it's cold and pitch black by the time I get home, and a treadmill would mean I could run indoors in winter/badweather and otudoor in the good weather!
4:52 PM, January 10, 2006, Anonymous: Amanda, we bought our AWESOME treadmill from Joe, too. I LOVE IT!!! I never thought I would be a runner, but I AM! Enjoy!

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

~Rudyard Kipling

The Lone Ranger Creed

I believe that to have a friend,
a man must be one.

That all men are created equal
and that everyone has within himself
the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there
but that every man
must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared
physically, mentally, and morally
to fight when necessary
for that which is right.

That a man should make the most
of what equipment he has.

That 'This government,
of the people, by the people
and for the people'
shall live always.

That men should live by
the rule of what is best
for the greatest number.

That sooner or later...
somewhere...somehow...
we must settle with the world
and make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth,
and that truth alone, lives on forever.

In my Creator, my country, my fellow man.
