New treadmill: Great! and evil
November 28, 2006 
We've had the Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill for a week now. Happily, it arrived last Tuesday, several days earlier than had been predicted. Gosh, treadmill technology has come a long way since we bought our last one (while taking the old one apart to recycle what we could, we discovered part of the frame that had pretty much disintegrated ...I suspect it may have been wounded during the cross-country move to Florida). This new device is definitely evil ...in a good way, I guess. It has a number of built-in 'programs', so I can select a program, enter how long I want the workout to be, and then let this electronic demon force me through a more rigorous workout than I would do if left to my own slothful ways. So I'm still doing 3 miles a day, but the miles are harder. Sometimes faster. Sometimes at more of an incline (much more). Usually a mix of both. And always harder. A good solid sweat-fest.
So I am developing a real love/hate relationship with this critter. But I'm part masochist, so it's all good :)

Only 'part'? I am disappointed (and lazy).
