Ah the treadmill. How I both love and loathe you. You keep me warm on an inside run on a freezing winter day, but you also bore me to tears and running even 3 miles feels endless. Today we got along pretty well. I was happy that I could catch both The Daily Show and Colbert Reportduring my workout. And the fact that I got it in during my lunch hour was even more awesome because now I can go straight home when work ends!
Perhaps what annoys most about the treadmill is that I own one, yet can’t always use it. Why, you ask? Well, first, I live above a pet store with the meanest women who run the store ever. Once I was running on a Saturday and one of the trolls came upstairs (seriously, I don’t even know how she got in) and pounded on my door and told me the lights were blinking on and off downstairs. Oops. The other issue is that the ‘mill isn’t new. The belt shifts all the time and it constantly needs readjusting, which I generally don’t have the patience for. So I end up at the gym at work. It’s usually OK, though I am often stuck watching Everybody Loves Raymond and the King of Queens, neither of which I ever watched when it wasn’t reruns.
So despite all this complaining, I ran a 5k during lunch. Woot!
Good job on running a 5K during lunch.
