Exercise

A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love. -Leonard Cohen

So I purchased a treadmill off of KSL this weekend. I have only been at it for 3 days, but so far I am pretty happy with myself. I am preying it does not become one of those mysterious basement objects that never gets used. Nichole explained to me that its all about getting the heartbeat up to 60 bpm and keeping it there as long as I can. I gave it a try. I thought I was going to die. D.I.E. Proudly I did obtain and maintain a heart beat of 40 bpm for a half hour. Then I collapsed. This is going to take patience I am thinking. I will consider myself a success if I just continue to get on the thing for a half hour a day.
