1. No... I love my treadmill...
A Nordictrack folding one... with a cushioned base... absolutely wonderful machine.

3. The sell ones that you can fold up when not in use.

4. Running or walking outside is better
Except when it is freaking cold like it has been here since October. I am hoping that will change soon.

8. Aw - punkin' - thanks for missing me, but I really have been here.
I see you are a definite maybe for Boston :toast: - you know the deal - just give me a definite and I'll upgrade the room. Oh and if I fall asleep and have a little bit of spittle extending from my mouth to my arm, you won't take pictures or tell, will you? I'm just checking....

13. I love my elliptical machine.
Like a treadmill, except it simulates running. I need to love it a little bit more, though. :D
