OT: Treadmill died... I think.

kathywithbirds · 04-28-2008, 05:47 PM

How long do these things last? Mine is a nordictrack exp 1000, it is about... 7 or 8 years old? was in storage for like 3 years. I haven't kept track of mileage but I guess I average a half hour to an hour a session, 2 to 3 times a week. Mike was on it, it just died. We smelled a little overheating.

Anybody have any experience? Is it worth it to get it serviced or is it time for a new one?

CLASSIC! lol

lcstorc · 04-28-2008, 06:52 PM

Sure it did.

LOL Kathy.... The repair bill might be as hefty as the replacement, depending on what you go with. Check out the Cardio Glide, simple, economical, small footprint and a whopper of a workout. Full body.
I have an elliptical now, but I miss my Cardio Glide

I bought my Nordic Trak last summer - really llike it, good impact absorption - i actually jogged yesterday and it wasn't hard on the knees.

Are you sure the smell wasn't coming from Mike?
How outta shape is he?

Did he just SAY it was broken or did you check it?
He might be trying to pull a fast one.

Ok so here's how dumb we are: it's a fuse. The thing has fuses. He blew one. So either he's too heavy for the #$^@ treadmill and it overheated or... um... help me out here he reads these posts.

rlcline76 · 04-28-2008, 10:37 PM

My husband tried to read my posts once back in the day...I think he learned his lesson.

When I was shopping last summer I noticed most were rated for 250 pounds or less - add in the extra pounding from a guy trying to look buff while running - lucky it's only a fuse that fritzed!!!

psssst!!!!!
If he's looking over your shoulder, just say,
"My puffer has swallowed my cat"
We'll know what your talking about.

I am not certain what it is about reefers' husbands. I mean, I am just talking about underwear on a good day. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't kid yourself, Steph, he can always view your threads as a guest.

kathywithbirds · 04-28-2008, 11:00 PM

He's got an account here too. I got him into SW, sometimes I think he's more into it than I am. Just today, for example, he chastised me for not having the 75 topped off and that an aiptasia is PO-ing my nem.

... BTW his tank is FULL of flatworms!!

vdituri · 04-28-2008, 11:01 PM

Where's his thread?
Mike!?
Where's your thread?
Huh?
Reef Chronicle?
Ohhhh Mikey~! lol

rlcline76 · 04-28-2008, 11:01 PM

Wow, all of his dirty secrets are being aired.
