Come to Mama

February 4, 2010

Come to Mama

IMG_0587

Oh, Mama. Can you feel it? Can you? Oh, I can feel it.

And do you know what it feels like?

IMG_0602 

It feels like Twenty-Ten, baby. And the future is now. I EMBRACE MODERN LIFE!

AND MY HOME GYM WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

(I mean, seriously…look at how far it's come:)

The only thing that's really changed besides the treadmill? My picture of Neil Finn at the finish line is on a different wall.

I'm coming, Neil! Mama is coming!

For those who are curious, I bought a Sole F63 treadmill. I bought mine for $899 at Dick's.

LOVE Dick's!

(Okay, that sounded all kinds of wrong, still…)

I'm off to work out now… check back tomorrow for a lovely sponsor giveaway day.

    Your Dick’s comment doesn’t sound as bad as one my son made a few years ago. (He’s 8 now.) I guess he assumed all sporting goods stores were “Dick’s.” After a trip to an actual Dick’s (a huge, 2-story store in a mall), he informed us on the ride home that he liked “big Dicks best.” !!!
    Good luck with the workouts.

    I know about that word, I’m married to a Richard who goes by the nickname. His cards are signed, Your Dick. As he said, Well it is yours…

    Nice equipment there Cathy. We have no space in our house for such but I now have the new city gym 5 min away and our winters aren’t MN winters – except for this coming weekend!

    May we both keep working straight through to our goals.

    This is proof you are truly committed to getting into shape. You will do it. I had a friend who unthinkingly googled Dicks with her kids while looking for some kind of sporting goods equipment. Enough said.

    We’ve had a Sole for a year (DH is an Ironman Triathlete…I canNOT compete with that!). We’ve both enjoyed it (he runs, I walk), and it’s worked great. Congrats on your new baby!

    I wonder if there is a flickr group dedicated to treadmills that tucked into a corner of the house. I always think I’m the only one running into a wall. Obviously, I’m not!

    A TV makes every home gym beautiful. SOLE is a great brand – happy work-out!

    My friend & I were working out with a personal trainer & said that we should go out for a lunch date sometime for “Dick’s & pedicures” …. go to the sporting goods’ store & get pedicures. My friend was sipping water & laughed so hard that she spewed water all over the big plate glass window at the gym. I guess you had to be there…

    Okay, laughing until my side hurts here. Last month I nearly gave my mother a heart attack when she asked me what I had spent my birthday money on she had sent me. I told her I spent it all on some Dick’s stuff (new running tights, etc.). She was really quiet… Oh my.

    Here’s my Dick’s story…..

    I live in Ga and my cousin lives in SC and we visited the Dick’s in her town. Later someone was asking about our trip and my reply was “I didn’t like their Dick’s”

    Just wanted to say you got a great price on your new treadmill at – – – um, that nice sporting goods store! Amazon’s best price was $100 more.
    Thanks for the ongoing inspiration and laughter!

    Hi Cathy,

    Good for you!! This will make it even easier for you to workout. I love it but have no room for it my house. It’s amazing how everything in this world changes in a few years. Always making things bigger, faster, better. Have fun running.

    Cathy, didn’t know your entry for today was just to give me a good laugh but it was actually to prepare me to help my nine year old daughter with her homework. I was surfing the web when she came up to me and said she needed the computer. When I asked why she said “I need to google the word climax.” I was floored and again asked why. Well,it out turns she was writing a story and wanted to know what the word meant in relation to plot development and story telling. I was careful to direct her to a kid friendly dictionary online site. The crazy thing was, the word orgasam came up. Good thing she didn’t ask what that meant!

    Cathy did you see what Karen Russell did to her treadmill. She made a desk around it so that she can work on her computer while she walks. The melding of two worlds…hmmmm.
