...the start of December.

Technically, it was still November, but it seems that we had a little taste of winter last week.

But in better news!!!

Take a look at my new toy! An early Christmas present from Frank to me and me to Frank.

We wrestled it into the upstairs bedroom (it was really heavy! and we had to kick Aislinn downstairs, again, to accomplish this). And then we took pictures and each had a try on it.

Since yesterday, I have already logged over 6 miles on it! Don't believe me? Ask my knees...they'll tell you. Ouch!

Even Tuck had a try. After a few stumbles and crashes into the wall behind the treadmill, he got the hang of it and really enjoyed it.

Oh! And what's even cooler? This machine comes with a wireless iFit membership that allows you to load up Google maps so you can run actual routes, like in real life! I can load up the Boston marathon, or a local route, or a crazy hill run through the Alps. And when I hook up my laptop and place it on the console I can even watch as I run those routes on the street view of Google maps. Isn't that crazy? Awesome!

This morning, when Frank got up to go to his 7am bball practice, Mackendra woke up and decided to go for a little walk on the 'mill. Isn't that weird?

So, we have no excuses any more. We can't say, "Ohhhhh, its raining," or "Oh, too bad, its too cold, and dark," or "I don't like having to get all dressed up to go running." Now, we just walk across the hall...we can even run naked! Ha ha ha!

So, as an early New Year's resolution to match my early Christmas present...I'm going to run more often.
