Hi!

I can't believe it's already October! Well, at least in Japan it is. Time's flying so fast.

My entire room is covered with shock absorbers so when I use the treadmill, it doesnt make noise bellow. Then, I keep it well oiled, so it doesnt make the buzzing sound.

Oh, I didn't know you had a treadmill.
Where did you buy it and about how much did you have to pay for it? Is it good quality?

[kurikuribebi]

The treadmill was actually Take's purchase, so I'm not sure where he got it or how much he paid for it. I just maintain it now that I'm the only one who uses it. I don't think it was too expensive though as I don't remember him ever complaining about the price. I like ours. It's not too high tech but it has a lot of features like mile counting, calorie counting, time, heart rate monitor, auto-pacing...

I have absolutely no experience as I've never ever used a treadmill before.
I think I need one that will let me run fast enough and that is long enough. Most Japanese treadmills seem to be very small / short.
Not sure how to go about finding one. Guess I'll go into a huge sport store and see if they have treadmills I could test.

Yeah, ours isn't so big, but as I'm not tall, it's no problem for me. Going in to a store and just checking might be best.
