I just completed my first live test walk!

I finished the basic construction on the desk by adding a cutout at the top so I can see the control panel, and a round one at the bottom to give me some room to stand.

I went for a 10min walk while typing and trying various speeds. I started at 0.6 and worked my way up to 1.0mph which seemed to give me the most normal stride. I'll have to see if I can keep up that pace for extended periods of time without breaking a sweat an important factor since I am doing this at work. Being able to rest my elbows on the desk while walking gives me plenty of support for typing/mousing as I had hoped.

Next up (but probably not till Friday....) the final step: Priming and painting.

For anyone keeping score, Yes. Getting this project completed keeps taking longer that I hoped. My schedule does not leave a lot of extra time for this sort of thing which of course is a large part of the reason I need a treadmill desk in the first place.
