So I use a treadmill and I am literally falling to pieces. Everything hurts. All. The. Time. In the gym that I go to there is an elliptical and I saw another girl using it. It looked grueling and I just knew it was going to chew me up and spit me out. Monday night I went to get on the treadmill (it's a small gym and there are only two) and both were being used. So I looked at the elliptical and thought "ok fine."

It kicked my ass.

But I didn't hurt. I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it. Tonight, I used it again. Did 3 miles in 45 minutes and when I got off I felt great. What's more....I got on the treadmill afterwards and did another mile. When I got off nothing hurt. My shin splints were not torturing me to death and for once I didn't feel like crying.

I am SO getting one.
