Ok people, I got a new treadmill... it was delivered this Monday and I am only able to write about the "adventure" today because, well... it seriously kicked my fanny... here's how it went down. True story. Monday morning the delivery truck shows up with a box. A very large, very heavy box, which they very nicely placed in my living room. Once they left, I tried to move said box and dropped it on my feet. Score one to the treadmill. ALREADY. I finally maneuver this thing to where I can work with it and open the box, then I have to laugh. There are instructions on the box on how to open the box, so I do my best and finally get the thing open... it is worth noting at this point that I am not the most patient person ever... by far. So, I get into the box and see the bottom of the treadmill and lots of parts and pieces that I am supposed to put together. Since I will be attempting to run on this and it uses electricity, I decide to actually look at the directions. It says you need to have two people to put it together. psfh! I can do this by myself!! Besides, I am the only one here that can put it together, my mom lives with us, but she is recovering from surgery and cannot do anything at the moment, so off I go, me, the treadmill parts and pieces, my tools, and the directions!!! WOO!! The adventure began at about 10:30am. I had to take breaks, (no patience, remember?) and I finally finished at about 8:30pm! My arms were sore, my hands were red from turning the screwdriver, no power tools could be used!!!!!!!!!!!!, my arms and shoulders were dead and my feet hurt. OH and I had the various bumps, bruises and cuts from the card board, slipping screwdrivers and running into the treadmill as I was putting it together... BUT I DID IT AND IT WORKS!!! Score 1 for me! Ultimately though, the winner of the battle is not me, you see I was looking at a different treadmill and it sold out. This treadmill had all of the same features and a little bit more but was close in price. What's a girl to do right? So, I got this one... I did NOT look at the measurements. Now the treadmill has taken over the living room, like seriously taken over the living room. MY LIVING ROOM BELONGS TO THE TREADMILL NOW.
