sears has like 8 different brands ranging from $200 to $3100.. :squint:

i've heard nordictrack is good, but then i should probably be looking to spending up to $750 or something.. :|

Let me ask you this? Do you have decent weather in your neighborhood? Why not run stairs or streets? I dont see why you would blow all that money on something you can do yourself...

maybe, but then again, on a treadmill,
1. you won't destroy your knees
2. you don't have to contend with the cold winters

well, new england FTL, as far as running in the winter. this is more so for my fiancee though. she's going to start her masters degree, and wants to stay in shape. she'll have much less time as she will be going to school + working full time + homework, so at least on the treadmill she can read or something.
