Good News!

I decided on a different treadmill than the one I'd originally ordered, and I put it together yesterday. I took it for a first run today. It works great. I don't. I have really let my cardiovascular fitness deteriorate, which justifies this purchase all the more.
I struggled to get 15 minutes of running out at a measly 6mph on a 1% incline. And I didn't do the 15 minutes all at once either. This from a former half marathoner.
Oh well.
All the more reason for me to keep at it.
I really want to be running on the roads this spring. I've never felt more balanced and healthy than when I've had a running habit, and I'm going to cultivate it slowly and carefully. I'm in this for the long haul.
