Evil Plans Gone Wrong

If you know me, you know my view that treadmills are necessary evils.  Because when it feels like this outside....

Even a tread-monster becomes an option.  Because anything is better than losing all feeling your extremities.

Here enters my evil plan.

I gave up my gym membership about a month ago.  I wasn't using it enough and I hate wasting money.  I've become a fan of body weight workouts at home and using the super convenient treadmill at Roomie's house.  Cheaper and just as efficient.  Plus, Roomie doesn't use the treadmill anymore.  Ever.  Since puppy lives at Fella's house though, I spend a nice chunk of my days and evenings at his house (which is only a couple of blocks away fortunately).  The small commute in the freezing cold is not fun.  If you haven't been able to tell at this point, I hate the freaking cold.  Hate.  Born and raised in South Florida and proud of it!  I'm still a sun baby at heart.

Cruising in the Bahamas.  Heaven.

So my super stealth plan was to butter Roomie up and then ask if I could steal borrow his treadmill and bring it to Fella's house.  (Also, not sure if I've mentioned it, but Fella and Roomie are brothers which helps the situation).  Unfortunately, I've been foiled.  Apparently Fella and Roomie's Brother-In-Law had the same idea and jumped the gun on me.  So, no tread-monster for me.....for now.

Back to the drawing board.

Tread-monster, ha! Love that. I HATE treadmills, can't even remember the last time I ran on one, but I may have to resort to one tonight after how badly my run went this weekend and it hasn't stopped snowing all day so I don't want a repeat. Good luck getting your run in during these cold days/months! Why did we ever leave Florida?!?!

I've never run on a treadmill but luckily our weather allows me to run outside throughout the year. Hope you can get a solution soon.

Leave the treadmill ads on his pillow before bed at night ;-)
