Fighting the gym gods

I wasn’t excited about going to the gym yesterday, but I knew I had to go. I really think it’s the weather, perhaps after all that time outside this summer i developed season depression.

The gym gods were against me. The parking lot was INSANE. I looped the front and back parking lots MULTIPLE times looking for a spot. Finally after like 10 solid minutes I got one. Fortunately there were some treadmills open albeit one in the back. I’m happy so many people want to work out and get healthy, but the gym needs to be able to accommodate the people that already work out here. It’s still slam packed in there everyday 🙁

I am happy that I’m at the gym – "half the battle is showing up.“ I got to pick my playlist for my run and my ipod dies. MOTHER EFFER. I choose to run sans music. It wasn’t bad. I had a good chat with myself, listened to myself breathing and watched a guy run finish a 7 mi treadmill run in 59:59 then stretch before cranking the treadmill for even more. I’m not sure how many miles he was after, but he was past mile 4 of this second run – WITHOUT MUSIC mind you.

I can’t wait to get back into the shape I was in 2 months ago. I really hate feeling weak and slow.
