As I sit here in my hotel, waiting the water to be turned back on I almost regret working out for the past hour.
But then again, I wouldn't have been able to experience this:
I totally want to own one of these badboys one day! It's a treadmill with an iPod attachment that syncs to your workout, or gives you the option of watching TV right on the treadmill's touch screen console.
But the best part was the interactive console. You can choose what kind of run you prefer based on scenery (i.e. a rigorous mountain run shows you ascending Mount Kilimanjaro, where as a low-incline scenic run is a 5K map of running in the foothills, much like my old cross country days). Or you always have the standard high school track option, which shows marks at every 100 meters to aid in interval training, etc.
There is also an option of a cartoon personal trainer, male or female, which I imagine is very similar to the "trainer" in WiiFit.
Anyways, it was awesome. Whatever gets me motivated to get back into running.... I'll take it!
P.S. I've recently discovered through online browsing, that it's nearly $6,500..... yikes. Maybe I'll settle for a car, or an international vacation along with a trip to Hawai'i instead...

$6,500, and I've never seen a treadmill in a home that didn't serve mostly as a place to hang laundry.
