I came home from the gym to find my early birthday present.
The Nordic Track C900
I screamed, I cried, I jumped around. I feel numb I am so excited.
Features include:
Speakers for your ipod/computer (that go REALLY loud)
A built in fan
IFIT compatible (allows you to run any course you want….I will be running Boston’s course on Friday, while watching the course on your computer through google maps). Basically, the treadmill is connected to the internet.
Incline up to 15% and up to 12 MPH
20 built-in hill/speed workouts and I can design whatever workout I want on my computer to program into the treadmill. It keeps track of all of your workouts and you can compete with other people that have the same type of treadmill.
Quadflex cushioning.
I put up pictures in frames around my running corner of my favorite athletes (think Kara) at the Boston Marathon and has other pictures to go up for other big marathons I am wanting to do after Boston. Inspiring.
My mom came over to check it out and then took me for ice cream. Ice cream for lunch is the best.
I don’t think today could get any better. Off to run on MY NEW TREADMILL.
I counted and it is only 4 steps from my bed. It doesn’t get better than that folks.

I just got my own treadmill last month. Bought it with a combo of my birthday money, Christmas money, life savings. I don't know how I existed without it! It's right up there with the Garmin in the how-did-I-run-without-this category!
Having your own TM is going to change your life!

Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your wesibte on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, amazing blog!

Happy Birthday!!
This is such a cool present, you won't even need to go to the gym, you could get a bit more cuddle time with Billy in the mornings.
Very cool present, such a lucky girl and you totally deserve it.

i don't know if i am more jealous of the treadmill or billy. FINE. it's billy. you would make some serious dough if you cloned him. but that would be weird.
anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!
i feel like i know you because i obsessively check my google reader to see if you've posted – so i will make the educated assumption that you 10000000% deserve both billy and the treadmill. but i am still jealous.

I have now read your entire blog like a big ole stalker (harmless of course) and I'm officially JEALOUS of your treadmill. Gah. If your husband wants to buy another one (ya know, just in case) I'm totally open to accepting. :)
Your stamina is amazing and you totally inspire me. I ran my third half marathon today (slow, but I did it) in roughly the time you want to do Boston. Bwaaaaaaahahahahaha. Sigh. Hey, just gotta keep getting out there, right?
Kate
Billy is seriously amazing! This is the best gift in the whole wide world and nobody deserves it more than you!! Now you don't have to drive to the gym at the crack of dawn and get ready in 5 minutes before work!! You can run the Boston course and EVERYTHING!!! I am so happy for you!!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Emily
ARE YOU SERIOUS?! At first I thought this was a joke, and then kept reading. I literally just got goosebumps reading this post! That is the most amazing present EVER, not to mention has some awesome functions I've never even heard of. I think Billy is ready for his lifetime achievement award – Best Husband Ever. Happy birthday to you, sooo happy for you! :)

That really is the best present for you, ever. Your hubby knows you so well! ENJOY!

I just looked up this post so that I could find out what type of treadmill it is that you have and I have to say, I have a serious case of treadmill jealous pants! Unfortunately, there is NO way we could fit a treadmill in our studio apartment but one day…
