I made it to the gym and worked out today. That is the good news. The weather, a combination of cold, snow and ice, and the lack of adequate daylight hours drove me into my apartment complex's gym. The bad news, for me, is that the treadmills are temporarily out of order. Come on! Both treadmills! Don't they know I am training for an upcoming marathon?
Sure I coulddddd go "outside" and "run" on the "road," but what do I look like a barbarian? These are civilized time, The Age of Treadmills. Sure I am not going to run the marathon on a treadmill but for training purposes, they are awesome. The only options were the two ellipticles, a stationary bike without straps on the pedals and the weight lifting machine. The ellipticle it was. 50 minutes to be exact.
It was a good workout. There was sweat, there was heavy breathing, there was sighing longingly at the treadmill. I know this much, if the marathon will be taking place on an ellipticle, I'll be set.
obviously y'all should move to the south so you can run OUTSIDE with ME!
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn! Man up! Get your butt outside. It is SO much easier to run outside, and your body needs that impact on its bones otherwise come race day it won't be used to it and shut down(or worse fracture).
