My wife just received her top of the line NordicTrack treadmill today.
She tried it out and loved it.
Now...
for most of her shorter runs...
I won't have to worry about her running into wild animals on the trail...
as she will be running on her new treadmill.
For her once a week extra long mountain runs...
Bandi and I will be accompanying her
(With Bandi running beside me on my trike with a bear load bearing shotgun in a holster...
Errr...
the Trike will have the shotgun holster attached to it...
not Bandi :)
My wife picked out her spot so she would have multiple views...
especially of the sunset as displayed through the third deck windowed doors
(although in good weather...she will have one of the doors open
for a fresh cross breeze).
She also has many programs which feature trainers...
as well as beautiful trails from around the world.
And with the automatic incline function and speed control
synced to each program and trail movie displayed on the screen...
she will be constantly stimulated by the varying views, pacing, and inclines
of each different program.
She "Hiked / Jogged" a trail in Yosemite today.
She said it is super smooth and quiet...
and that she just loves it so much that she will be regularly using it.
A high quality 24" screen plays the various exercise programs...
and scenic trails from around the world.
This is their top model...
the one used commercially in gyms.

After her afternoon workout...
my wife began making our supper...
two variations of Tom Yum Goong
(a delicious Thai soup...
of which also serves as a meal).
And as with almost all of her meals...
she makes them from scratch.
She always loves to add fresh veggies and ingredients into her cooking.
My wife has many pastes and sauces for dishes from around the world...
and from which she makes her many dishes.
This is one was variation of Tom Yum...
chicken.
And this was more of the traditional Tom Yum Goong...
but with an addition of Mung Bean Noodles.
We easily get all of the Asian spices, veggies, sauces...and other ingredients...
from the Asian Market in Colorado Springs...
or from a couple of different Asian internet markets...
which deliver directly to our door in most cases.
I loved them both.
My wife had even added the traditional Thai eggplants.
She also warmed up a green onion pancake for me to eat.
My wife had also made another batch of Asian Cucumber Tsukemono...
but with a Chinese twist to it.
They were good...
and quite spicy.
I always have a delicious meal in which to look forwards on a daily basis.

As it is supposed to be sunny for the next forecasted week...
we were planning on going to the top of Pikes Peak...
but the road to the top was closed today due to snow.
But...
with good weather forecasted...
hopefully they will be open tomorrow...
or perhaps by the weekend.
(It only received a couple of feet of snow...
and so...
it may melt in time).
Yes! She is a committed runner. She deserves the best. Good choice
ReplyDeleteYes, plus it is too often too cold in the mountains in the winter.
