effing treadmill motor fried

[UWhusky09]

well i only paid 100 dollars for this thing from a family friend, and it's served me well for a good 2.5 months

especially considering im about 50-75 lbs over its max weight limit haha

but ya, motor is toast, manufacturer wants 400 for a new one with no warranty, they can kiss my ***

so now im kind of at a cross roads, if i could find another solid treadmill in the 100-150 range on craigslist or somin I would probably jump on it, but I don't think spending 500+ will be worth it for me since I was planning to join a gym sometime this summer

so i guess options are:

- just start running outside instead of on the treadmill, i really liked the controlled environment of the treadmill, but getting outside more might help me push myself more and also get a nice tan once it gets sunny out haha

- dig around for a 100-200 dollar treadmill, knowing it might crap out on me in another 3-4 months

- go all out and buy a 500+ treadmill that should last a long time, but I will definitely be losing $$$ from buying and selling it in such a short period of time

- just join a gym now, i sweat a CRAPLOAD when i do my cardio workouts and my weight lifting is still pretty weak so I am still a little low on the "public workout confidence" scale, but maybe i should just bite the bullet and do it
