Treadmill--uhhggg

[corvetteguy78]

Huh this thread needs a new title. I didn't realize it wasn't about treadmills.

Speaking of that,

One of the motors broke that raise the height of the deck(doesn't effect functionality). I emailed Epic and they shipped me a new one no questions asked.

Also, I just realized that my Treadmill was supposed to come with a wireless chest heart rate monitor and mine didn't. I emailed them and it's already being shipped out no questions asked. Pretty rare these days to have a company like that.

o and now im down to 195....

had a good weekend of outdoor activities
friday i biked 13.08 miles in 1:05
and saturday i ran 6.31 miles in 1:04
good to see everyone is making progress

Right on man. I picked up my bike last week and rode 24 miles on the last day of my 24 day challenge. Got a beer at a trailside beer garden half way as a reward. It was awesome. Got super buzzed too.

Ran 4 miles each day this weekend but kept the diet pretty darn clean otherwise. Stocked up on veggies/fruits again yesterday and going to keep the diet going during the weekdays.

I need to find myself a decent bike. My buddy said his mountain bike was over $500. No thanks.

500 is cheap for a bike these days. a 'good' mtn bike easily hits 1200+

Most quality mountain bikes are stupid expensive. I got my road bike off craigslist. I paid $600-700 IRC 5 years ago. Mid 2000 Giant OCR with campy group. Best thing is when I upgrade, (if ever), I'll get the same price I paid for it.

For new, that's a basic one with just front suspension or really limited full suspension. New bikes are over priced I think.

i currently ride a 16+ yr old murray baja, with dragging front brake, 2 bent wheels, and some shady gear setup that works occassionally
really need to upgrade
probably going to look for something used in the sub $500 price range
just looking for a nice cardio workout, not going for the ironman

Exactly. Back in high school, my bad ass and upgraded Haro didn't have $500 in it.

Maybe I'll look for a decent used one.

damn, took a month to drop 4 lbs :/ 202.2 tonight. I'm putting on muscle though now again, so my pound figure is slowing down but my body is still changing for the better. Ran 3 times this week, which is a fucking miracle for me... i hate running. Same course, i've improved my lap time by almost 3 minuets.

This is a pretty hilly course, so the slowness factor is there....

I need new clothes again. All the work clothes i bought just a few months ago are falling off of me again. :/

nice work B. half way to a 5k.
maybe you can find one in your area and make that a goal.

Go for a lap or two around a local lake with a nice view. I run best when I find a pace booty.

 

[totalburnout]

Keep with it. Law of diminishing returns kicking in on the weight loss. The first pounds lost are easy. The final ones are the toughest.

 

[Briansol]

yep, im far from final. 185 is probably a final goal. but just seeing the 100s for the first time in 15 years just a few months ago was honeslty reaching. now, it's a stint in a sauna away.

The amount of tequila i drank tonight won't help though :/ had a rough night down memory lane :/
