Nothing a big mug of tea won't solve! <br /><br />Now that we have a treadmill, I'm not using it much and it's still not my favorite but I do think I would miss it if we didn't have it. And Ron loves it. The weirdo!! Now, take my spin bike from me and we'll be having stern words with each other...<br /><br />This morning I also wondered who I was and what happened to me, getting up every Saturday morning at or before 7 to run around the park two times.
