I was running on my treadmill in the garage last night. Towards the end of the run (about 50 minutes in), I was feeling kung-fu and I decided to do the last mile or so at tempo pace. So I accelerated the treadmill and cranked away for a few minutes. Then suddenly, the 'mill went dead, the fan turned off, the baby monitor shut down, and the cat's recirculating water bowl went still. My powerful running had tripped a breaker.  |

The Force is strong in this one........ or you have a weak breaker on your electric panel.
Pick which one works best for you.
Just remember GrassHopper, if it trips three times replace the breaker with a new one. |

Sorry. My teenage children are disturbed and come up with some "creative" terms for roadkill.

Operative word is June. My schedule currently precludes running in the morning, running in the mid-day Alabama heat/ humidity sucks, and the hillbilly-infested wooded trail that I would have to run on at night near my house is inadvisable. So treadmill it is.
Plus, there's a huge benefit in being steps away from the bathroom if the sudden need to blow mud arises. And it often does with me. |

Helps keep the water from getting gunkified. |
