Another cold and snowy morning so ran on the TM.  I have cracked the deck on the TM so it is difficult to run on and I think it is causing some pain in the hip because of the way my foot is landing.  Now looking for a new TM.  Had to cut the run short because I didn't want to mess up my hip any more.

If everything else is ok, I would just replace the deck on the TM. Upgrade to a commercial grade deck if possible.

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately it is not in very good shape so not sure I want to put any more money in it. The way the weather is going I might be using it a lot this winter. How is everything going for you? Hope all is well.

I give into the weather sometimes and hit the TM but I use the one at the gym. The things are expensive if you get a good one that you can actually have a decent run on. Good Luck... You might find a good deal on one this time of year.

Seems like I am giving in more and more to the weather as I get older or maybe just because these past two years have been so cold. Probably need to look at the gym option but have been spoiled by having a TM at home. I will need to do something because the weather is not getting any better.
