Hello treadmill my old/new friend

While downstairs blocking my first sweater in my year-of-the-sweater, I looked across the room to see the treadmill we purchased when we moved into mom’s house. Two years of dust obscuring it’s new and unused state. It took me more than several minutes to figure out how to turn it on; I hate to admit. We literally wore out our previously owned treadmill, so the neglect of this new one, and of myself - only the more searing in my mind.

So, today as good as any, I hopped on.
Summary: .5 miles, 12 minutes @2.5 miles/hr.

So sad and hard for me to write down - but one must start somewhere; and here start I.

I’m not totally sure of my plan to knit and to turn my health around, I think the details will come, but 15-20 minutes is a good goal by this weeks end I think, and especially given that I’m 6 weeks out from a meniscus tear.  (A right painful injury I might add, I could barely walk around Thanksgiving, and certainly couldn’t have jumped on the treadmill. So progress already, even if only in the smallest of increments.)
