Goldilocks

This weather is too cold.

This weather is too hot.

This weather is too dry.

This weather is too wet.

I have caught myself at any one time saying one or two of those.  To be a personal trainer means I enjoy exercising but it doesn't mean I enjoy exercising in all weather scenarios.  At one point, I will admit, it gave me great joy to be seen in a rainstorm running.  I figured it would add to my portfolio submitted to become the first female Ranger.  Plus, they didn't have Tough Mudders back then so I had to create my own rah-rah Rambo scene.  But I am no longer that weirdo (arguable? Perhaps). 

Nope, I have become a fair weather runner.

Here enter Goldilocks.

I saved up during my deployments for lots of things, but one of them was a treadmill.  I couldn't ever bring myself to spend the money, so a year after my husband and I married, he spent it for me, on its rightful designation.  What a guy.

My treadmill gives me great joy.  She has saved me from running inertia (an object at fair-weather rest will remain at rest)  many a time.  And because she exists because of my pickiness, her name is Goldilocks.  I missed her for a couple of weeks during these weeks of transition, but she is back "up and running," and I even had my inaugural run on her this morning.  Felt so good!!!!

With Goldilocks, the weather is not too cold, not too hot.

With Goldilocks, the weather is not too dry, not too wet.

With Goldilocks, the weather is always JUST right.
