Isn’t she pretty?

She’s the newest addition to our household and I couldn’t be more excited.

I gave her a test run yesterday and she wasted no time in kicking my ass. I completely forgot how much harder it is to run on a treadmill than outside. Plus, I haven’t run on a treadmill in probably a year and a half (I’ve always trained outside). So this is a treat!

Pre-winterizing and post-winterizing:

I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with my new friend. I have a feeling we’re going to be spending a lot of time together if we have a typical Cleveland winter.

We’re working on transferring this room into our “home gym”. J’s actually installing a tv in the “gym” while I’m blogging and as soon as we get our bikes set up I’ll post more pics.

But for now my new bff gets the room to herself. I think she’s going to like it here.

Do you prefer running outside or on the treadmill? I’ve always preferred running outside, but I really want to work on my speed so she is going to come in handy!!
