March 26 - 150 miles so far….
Posted by admin under Tales from the Cube
On March 26 I officially hit 150 miles. I know that because the my treadmill gives me warning to lube the treadmill belt at 150 miles. So lets see…. 5 days a week since December 18, amounts to roughly 75 days…. so I am looking at around 2 miles a day. However, I have to take the holidays, and down time while it was broken in to account, so that would put me at 55 days so it would be around 2.75 miles a day or at 1 mph, a little less than three hours a day on the treadmill, which I would say is very accurate. Some days I did none, or barely one hour and others I walked it out for 5 hours (did I mention talcum power is a good thing to have on hand). I want to see if I can get that average up to 4 hours a day. Two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. Not as easy as it seems as I can’t take the treadmill with me to meetings…

I’m sorry to say but that “cubicle farm” picture is depressing. Keep your chin up and get outside!

Sadly, they won’t let me work out side. I do need to do some redecorating though…

Very interesting blog. It’s now July and I’m wondering how you’re doing with this. I’m a writer–AND a couch potato. I’m short, 5′2″, and am wondering if this could work for me. I’m glad to hear you’re concerning yourself with ergonomics. What did the visiting “pros” think of your set up?
Thanks for sharing this.

So, it’s been awhile. How’s the treadmill idea working out for you? I’m hoping to do the same myself but it won’t happen until the new office space is completed.

How is it going so far? I am also about to embark on outfitting my office at work to a walking workstation. My colleagues are interested or perplexed at the idea, eager to see how it goes for me. Is your treadmill quiet then? Do you happen to know if the Nordictrack C2155 or A2350 is quiet or not? Have you lost more weight recently?
Thanks for tracking your progress from the beginning, on this blog.
