RIP Treadmil

Three years ago, we bought a PaceMaster Treadmill from a local home fitness store. At the time, PaceMaster was a very reliable brand that stood by their product. It was not a cheap treadmill, but not top tier. Anyway, yesterday it finally gave in!! We had a treadmill technician come out to look at the unit, and turns out the deck was broken, the drive motor needs to be replaced, and the belt is worn so bad, it also will need to be fixed. Luckily, it's all covered under warranty, all $800 of the parts!!! So, in three years we wore out a strong treadmill, but since we bought a good model, the warranty will hook us up! Moral of the story......when making an investment in something you will use ALOT, find a reputable company that stands by their product!

We have had some nice early spring weather 'round here and have even been able to get out on the bike several times. I'm going to need it as next weekend I'll travel to San Diego to race SuperFrog and stay with Jim. I'm looking forward to it, but wish my biggest fan could accompany me. Oh well, someday! Got a few things working realated to coaching and some new things coming soon! Stay posted. All for now.

  1. I'm surprised Aunt Jeanne didn't want to make a trip out to California--that's her old stomping ground. :)

  2. Enjoy your time in San Diego; it is called "America's Finest City"---perfect weather/climate for athletes. Indulge in a post-race local margarita----now, that hits the spot:)

    Go, Scott Joe, Go!
