Beauty and the Beast of a Machine

Welcome to The Treadmill Tales! My name is Erin, I am 22 years old, and I used to be a rather avid runner; however with life stresses (i.e. new job, last year of college, random other life changes) running/working out has been put on the back burner. I recently have been trying to get back in the swing of things to achieve my first runner's goal of FINALLY competing in a 5K. I know that is not a terribly long distance, but it's a start. 

Now I know that nutrition is a very important factor in fitness, but let's be real, I like to eat. Chocolate, carbohydrates of any kind, and a strong obsession with Mexican food prevents me from ever being a twig, but I do like to be conscious of what goes into my body and will share with you anything and everything I learn along my journey.

Let's talk about the beast of a machine called the treadmill, the true protagonist of this adventure. Over the course of its part in my tale, it will experience many battles of speed and endurance. Some will be short battles, others will be very long. It will be pounded on, complained about, and even thoroughly hated at some moments, but will never falter. 

Let our journey begin!
