The Blow Out

Got your attention!!! Probably not because you are one of the few people that follow this blog and would have read it had the title been "Aww shucks the fuse blew on the treadmill" followed by a sad emoticon like this: :(

Anyway, I am ok physically but about 15 minutes into my treadmill run the fuse blew and the power on both treadmills went out. This left me and the treadmiller next to me, dressed oddly similar to me, staring at each other asking "Where is the fuse box?" Apparently in it is in a locked room in the gym.

What is a runner to do? Stationary bike? Ellipticle? That was what I would say too; however, all other non-powered machines were occupied. So weights it was, some heavy lifting and whatnot. It was all I could do try and keep my heart rate up. Afterwards a jog home was in order and since it wasn't bone chillingly cold out and the wind wasn't cutting into my soul I ran around the "long" way. Well longer way. And when I reached my apartment, a good song came on my Ipod so I took another lap. The another good song which led to another lap. Three laps was it as it started to get a little chilly.

Back inside. It was overall a rather uninspired training session, but we keep a chin up, shrug, and keep moving.
