a few years ago i bought a nordic track from a nice soccer mom from rogers park. it was cheap, she delivered it to me, i used it once in a while. tehre was a month or so where i ran 3 miles every day. i also went crazy that month, though there is no correlation. but, since then, for the most part, the nordic track has been widely ignored, sitting in my office, waiting for its day of glory.
since february 2008, i've been fairly regular with it's usage. running every other day or so 2 - 4 miles, depending on how i'm feeling. starting off with a good quick run (7 mins) and then a quick walk/ fast run. it's going fairly well, i suppose. since i've started i've lsot 15 pounds. or 10 pounds. somewhere in between, because it all fluctuates depending on what girl time it is. being a girl sucks...
i've been eating better too. by better i mean less. and i try to stay away from various delicious fried potato products but my god, potatoes are so delicious. unfortunately, i have reached my plateau and havent really lost anything recently and am kind of just staying a pound or two above or below this one dumb number.
i feel great, but none of my pants fit. i mean, they never really fit because i have no hips and i could never walk more than 25 feet without having to pull said pants up, but especially now. it's just frustrating... because i'm working hard and see nothing, really. but i will eventually!
i also bought the nike+ for my nano but it doesnt really want to work with my set up and i'm going to start runnhing outdoors now. SCARY. DO NOT WANT. but i'm told it's not as awful as i fear... though i will miss running while watching olbermann or scrubs and listening to lcd soundsystem (srsly best band to run to).

Hooray for running. I also decided to try it recently, and also wrote about it. Running outside is the suck, but these things must be done.
I'll have to check these soundsystem folks out.
You look GREAT. Honestly. I was so stunned the other day!
TRUST ME. You will love outside so much, and then you have your thing for inside when its too hot or whatever.
Let me know when you're up and running (oh man I'm so funny) and we'll hook up on the nikeplus. I'll challenge you.
matt! you've never heard lcd soundsystem? omg. you must! they are wonderful dancey rock band. and incredible live. ia dore them. the even made a song exclusively for nike+ thats 45 mins long and is perfect for running. i'll upload some stuff for ya.
HIXX: THANKS!
ill probably really like it, but tis takes me a lot to get motivated to get my ass out the door. plus i think i need to buy pants and a new bra and an armband for my ipod. EXPENSIVE!
