Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

That right there is the name of my treadmill... no, I didn't name it (although I did name my computer SAL-9000 (or Sal), my bike (whom I hate (I'll tell you more about that later)) Ci and my Ipod HAL-9000 (or Hal)), that's what the company named it. Anyways, this is where I'll be posting how progressively better I get on the treadmill... or worse, either way. So I'll be updating this hopefully every day (minus the weekends(friday, saturday, sunday=weekend)). Anyways, here are my times:

Monday, June 11
Time: 21:49
Speed: 3 MPH (Fast walking)*
Distance: 1 Mile
Artist: Gorillaz
Album: Gorillaz
*At the beginning I was a bit slower, but not for long

Tuesday, June 12
Time: 17:13 (about)**
Speed: 3.5 MPH (Too slow to jog but almost too fast to walk!)
Distance: 1 Mile (about)**
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album: Californication
**I accidentally pulled out the thing that you clip to your shirt or pants or whatever, so if you fall it stops the treadmill, so it reset it. I think I got pretty close though; I saw how far I went a few seconds before it came out and I used math! to figure out the time. If anything, I went a bit more than a mile!

Wednesday, June 13
Time: 15:17***
Speed: 4 MPH (Jogging with little steps, or fast walking with big steps!)
Distance: 1 Mile
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Unknown Mix
***I took a 15 or so second break at half a mile, so I'm going to do this same time tomorrow.

Thursday, Jun 14
Time: 15:07****
Speed: 4MPH (Same as above)
Artist: B-52s
Album: Time Capsule
****Yay, I didn't take any breaks! but I still phailed.... So, I'm going to do the same speed on monday.

Monday, June 18
Time: 15:27*****
Speed: 4 MPH (Same as above)******
Artist: Rush
Album: Grace Under Pressure
*****I took a few breaks, but only because my fan made me! My fan is special, to feel the wind, you must be directly in front of it and you must not be moving. Since I lugged it all the way down stairs, I had to use it!
******I finally figured it out, at this speed it takes me 12 minutes to get to 3/4 of a mile when usually I can make it in a bit over 7 minutes. I figured it's (1) the hills and (2) the lack of constantness! See, the hills make me go faster when I go donw them, in real life that is, but also make me go slower going up them. So it must be the lack of a constant rate! So now, I'm going to, instead of stopping, just slow down, and when I'm ready, I'll speed back up to faster than 4 MPH, like, actually running speed! And the average will hopefully be higher, so I'll have less of a time! Genius, eh?

I have a good excuse this time!

Kind of....

********I did eventually figure out that it was in her purse, and she put it there when we were going into a store so no one would see it a think to break into the car or something, and then she forgot it and left it there.

I'm sure I had a good excuse at the time, but I don't remember it now, since it's been like, 2 weeks or something since I updated this.... If it comes to me, I'll change this and say what I did, but I know it was something important!

Monday, July 2
I went over to bittersweetscribe's house, on Sunday, and I spent the night and stayed until, like, 9 at night or something, so I couldn't exersise or nothing.

Tuesday, July 3
My mom had this day off, so it was a weekend, and I don't exersise on the weekends.

Wednesday, July 4
Same as above, but it was a holiday too, so I doubly got out of work.

Thursday, July 5
I spent the night at bittersweetscribe's again, so that got me out of work. Wow, twice in one year, that's a new record!
