Operating A Treadmill


One of the things I promised myself was to get back into a regular exercise routine.
I had been really good up until mid-summer and I nearly stopped completely.
I felt terrible about it.
But...I didn't want to exercise.
The final week of December I told myself THAT is it.
I got back to doing my treadmill.
Abby decided to do the Treadmill with me.
As I was setting everything, she was on the platform sitting, watching me.
So, I slowly started the treadmill at .5mph.
At first she didn't know what to do, but then she started walking, but she noticed she wasn't going anywhere. So she walked a little faster, then she stopped and of course the treadmill took her on a little ride, but before she could fall off she started trotting again.
She did it 3 or 4 times.
Then she jumped off and watched me ramp it up.
My goal is 15-20 miles a week.
It's a very do"able" goal for me.
So far so good...and I feel so much better.
