Justified Toy

Since I am supposed to be RAISING money for charity, I feel the need to justify SPENDING money for this run..../walk (latter more likely). If you lived in my area, you'd know there are 3 main patches of grass/park nearby. You'll also know that they are all places you do not go to unless you are looking for trouble. So for my first few jogs I've been using the streets, which is the cause of 2 main problems; inhaling exhausts and stopping every few minutes to cross another A-road junction.

So, I have purchased a treadmill. Far from being extravagant, I have purchased what should really be classed as a "walker"; a manual treadmill that requires a bit of work and maintain a rhythm to get it moving. And with change from two twenties, it was a bit of a bargain.

Further justification: Since I was prepared to spend a bit more on my purchase I will be donating at least the difference and whatever I wish to donate on top of that. Now let's get this training regime rolling....oh excuse the pun.
