Saturday we spent the day at several guitar shops. Trey wasn't shopping for a guitar, no he already has three, he better not be shopping for a new one. Johnny was looking for an acoustic and found this one at Guitar Center. 
While the guys were browsing at Guitar Center, JoNell and I walked the same shopping strip and found a used exercise equipment store. I'm always looking for a deal and I found this Ironman elliptical on sale for $149 --- normally retailed for $499!
"The Runner" with an elliptical, I know. Trey even questioned me just to make sure I wouldn't have buyers remorse. Originally, I wanted a treadmill (and still do), but I can't find one at the right price and quality. The last thing I want to do is purchase a cheap poorly designed treadmill that will only become an eye sore.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this elliptical purchase. I have not been this excited about fitness, since I started running. And since Saturday, I've used it twice. It's really the perfect size for home use. It has a built in computer that monitors time, speed, calories, distance, heart rate, pulse, etc. It even has about 10 preset programs as well as manual drive.
My mom is a big fan of the elliptical and now when she comes over I know she'll jump right on. Trey even said he'll give it a try.
I'm still committed to running, but this is a wonderful form of cross training, especially now that I'm pregnant. But this coming week I will try very very hard to pull myself away from the new toy and enjoy outdoor running......
