Road to nowhere...

I came home today to a beautiful treadmill in my living room. A friend of a friend was kind enough to accept my hard earned (bday gift) cash to lug this amazing machinery up here from my mom's spare bedroom in Santa Monica. This friend (with the help of my knight) got the treadmill from my mom's last night and drove it up today. Since he wanted to go to tonight's A's game, I was lucky enough to not have to deal with getting it in my house or anything! He and his friend came and picked up my keys and set up my beautiful new treadmill in my living room. Now, it was backwards (facing the wall, not the TV) but we all can't be perfect, right? It was nothign a little sweat and elbow grease of my own couldn't fix.

I couldn't be happier. I just walked for about 25 minutes. It was an easy pace but I tried not to be crazy obsessive girl that I sometimes can with treadmills. (My sister used to housesit at this great house with a treadmill. I have been known to spend 5 hours at a time walking on that motherfucker. None of us need me to be doing that. Especially not at the peak condition that I am at right now!) I did a nice mile at anywhere from 1.5 to 2.8 mph and even did a little cool down - I am so responsible!!!! I watched an episode of Plastic Surgery Before & After - my fave show. I kept my water bottle in its nifty little spot. I wore my fantastic walking shoes. All in all, it was a huge success.

So here's to my first steps, kinda literally. Here's to my knight and here's to boring blogs like this one. I have a feeling this jorney isn't going to be all fireworks and dancing monkeys.
