Well, I won't be writing about running on the treadmill anymore.  Yes, the weather is getting nicer, but that isn't the reason.  I got on to use it this morning and I think it has run it's last leg (no pun intended :) )  It was very jerky, so much so that I didn't dare not hold on for fear of falling off.  It's had this quirk in the past, but it's been quick and gone away.  I thought it would work itself out, but everything I tried gave no good results.  So, I guess it's just one less thing to pack to Texas :)  We've had it for over 6 years and never done any maintenance on it, and it's been well used.  So, I can't complain, really.  This is just my wake up call to get my sorry butt out of bed in the morning and start hitting the pavement.  I like that better anyway :) 

I thought I was out of luck for exercising after that happened, but I got lucky and the kiddos left me alone for a few minutes so I popped Jillian in instead.  Glad I had the option of something else as I was disappointed I was not going to get a workout in today.  The next few days should be beautiful, so I will head outside.  Looking forward to it :)
