My ankle still swells slightly when overused but I managed to run twice in the past week. 30 minutes each time on what some people call the dreadmill . . . . but ya know what, when it’s your own dreadmill it’s not a dreadmill anymore. It’s a super-spectacular Godess of all things running. And my dreadmill needs a name and whoever comes up with the best one gets a FREE masthead. Meet the newest edition to our family.
It’s your basic Plain Jane Pacemaster Bronze. It goes forward and it goes up and down. It doesn’t talk back and it cleans its own room. It also has side bars to keep me from falling off. Not that I’ve ever done that before . . .

That’s your house? Your house looks like my gym!
Ok, here’s the plan. I leave my wife. You dump the husband. And I come live with you and we get to work out every single day. Yea!
Name for the dreadmill? Milli? Not so very exciting.
Can I come live with you anyway?
How about something like Pacer? Coach? Either one could lead to statements like this:
“I need a Pacer to keep me running at the right speed.”
or
“I’m going to go for a run with Coach.”
“The weather’s bad, but Coach makes sure that I still go get my run in.”
Clearly that is The Dream Machine because it brings you ever closer to your dream of getting back to the business of being Runner Susan.
How about Juanita? I have no particular reason for the name, it just popped into my head when looking at the picture.
Juanita.
B* (not you, the treadmill)
Progress- because even though it isn’t a road run, the name will remind you of what you have accomplished.
Bernard.
i like the name Plain Jane.
it’s very appropriate. there’s also the straddling Jane to begin my workout angle…
i’m also partial to thrillmill.
Suz,
I love her! She is the most beautiful treadmill ever.
I’m also partial to Mary. All the good songs are written about Mary. Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Chesney, they all sing about Mary.
Mary, or Juanita. Juanita is still good.
do none of these people recognize a MAJOR FLAW in the feng shui of this set up???? Your “ride ‘em cowboy” machine is right in front of a MIRROR!!!!
You can watch yourself!
That is a big no-no in my little world of low self-esteeminess.
(You could also go with mustang sally. maybe.)
Mildred.
Glad to hear you are able to run a little again!
I like Sunshine…
I often get that nickname when I come down the stairs at 9 AM-ish on Sunday mornings! I just picture you walking in there and saying “Good Morning, Sunshine!” (Plus I really need a masthead! LOL) Glad to hear you are doing better. (Maybe “The Bionic Stationary Cankle Corrector” would be better!)
Millie. That’s what I named mine.
I like Tread-Mila for a name.
I vote for Stronger’s or Lisa’s. However, Monica (http://iron-monica.blogspot.com/) called her bike the effer and that’s sweet.
Milbert
Wilson. Also, the mirror is great, because who ever gets sick of watching their own boobs bounce?
Personal
Improvement
Machine
Platform
or PIMP for short
ex. I have to go do my pimp. My pimp wore me out. HA
Bubba?
the pool boy?
supah-star?
Just to reinforce the name Mila, you could envision her as some sort of running dominatrix. She will whip your ass into shape, whether you want her to or not.
How about “Speed Racer” for the treadmill? Take it easy on the ankle.
Phew, missed the deadline.
I vote for tuki’s suggestion. Or, along those lines, N,AWTY (Now, are we there yet?)
