10 minutes elliptical waiting for a treadmill then 4 miles at 9:30 pace. My apartment gym is probably smaller than a lot of peoples bathrooms. It barely holds 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, and one bike. There's also no air in there so I end up dripping. There was a couple in there using the treadmills when I got in, which is totally fine and I was happy to wait. When they stopped running the female kept working out and the male just stood there and watched TV. I jumped on the treadmill, after asking if they were done, and the male started to lean on the treadmill right next to me. He was there for my whole 4 miles! I wanted to ask if they had a TV at home or if he could at least DO something like walk on the treadmill so it wouldn't be so awkward. Almost 40 minutes! Of standing next to me on the treadmill! So close I could have touched him! Gahhh. Anyway, I wanted to get out of their so fast I skipped my usual cool down and stepped off the treadmill, I ended up slipping off the treadmill a tad. Anyway I said "oopps" to try to shake it off but the guy started cracking up. I called him a <badname> and slammed the door. Problem is, this couple is ALWAYS there when I want to go to the gym. I guess this is the start of me running in the AM again. Yes, I over reacted and made my futures even more awkward. I've had a really long week though - I was very much looking forward to running. My roommates and I ended up getting ice cream after :-D They think it's pretty funny. "Hey Beth, I did the dishes, don't call me a <badname>. |
