New Addition to the Family

Thursday, November 6, 2008

It was delivered at 11:45am on Tuesday, arriving at 82 inches long and weighing 400 pounds. It's my new (used) Precor C956 treadmill. It's a used commercial unit in great condition. I've already put some miles on it and it feels solid. I never thought I'd be excited about getting a treadmill, but this will go a long way towards getting in the miles during the ugliness of winter, not to mention other times when it's just convenient to jump on to bang out a few miles. Let the base building begin.

I purchased it from a local dealer in Philadelphia, if any local runners are interested I can pass the number along. It was pretty reasonably priced and delivered personally by the dealer, who also services his equipment. Don't let me be the only treadmill geek out here.

Nice pickup homie. That looks like an awesome piece of equipment and it looks like new too. Here's wishing you many happy miles on that kick ass 'mill.

I want one! I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me get one for the basement. Running outside is not always an option during an Iowa winter. The the new sleep through the night and potty trains quick.

I use to use this SAME machine at the gym I went to in Miami. It's a great treadmill (for a treadmill). Enjoy!

Congrats on getting a new dreadmill.. Opps, I meant treadmill. You will need to put two or three TVs around, a beer keg next to treadmill for proper hydration and a mattress behind in case if you slip.

Enjoy every mile on it! Congrats!

Congratulations. I'm glad that you're giving this stray treadmill a good home.

We don't have room for one at our house or else I would consider getting a used one like yours. That sounds like a good deal.

Have fun!

This is what we have at the gym for the elliptical machines. They are good machines! Way to go, I'm glad you made the big purchase!

Tell us how it is working for you. I am going to buy one next year. Maybe even for Christmas.
