I went to bed last night with the intention of waking up for a morning workout. My alarm went off at 6 am and by 6:30 I was out of bed and headed to my apartment complexes gym. Now, the gym only has 2 treadmills and I am always nervous that they will be in use when I get there. Some of you may ask..."why don't you just go outside for a run?" But the truth is, It is out of my comfort zone and I will have a separate post about that!
So I get down to the gym and BOTH treadmills are in use! The one girl had a pretty good run going, but the dude with her was reading a book while walking very slowly! Does this anger anyone else when you see this? I was angry. I had my mind set on the treadmill and felt that he was preventing me from my run.
I decided to use the elliptical and when they left 12 minutes into my workout, I finished the last 18 minutes on the treadmill and felt pretty good. I wanted to do more, but had to get ready for work. Maybe I will take it outside next time that happens....if I can get over my fear:)
I'm impressed simply by you being at the gym at 6:30am :)
ReplyDeleteWTG Gina, you took the initiative to get a work out it instead of throwing in the towel and forgetting the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI am intersted to know why you don't run outside. For me the treadmill and running don't go together, although I have no choice in the winter because it gets so cold here.
Again great work!
Just found your blog today.. way to go on the early workout! :)
