Ah, My Good Ol' Friend, The Gym
I went to the gym today. I checked my other blog, and I hadn't been to the gym in over two months now! The gym manager greeted me and said she hadn't seen me in a while. Sigh. I used to go almost every day. She then said, "Welcome home."
The first thing I did was weigh myself. OMG! I had gained 2 pounds since I last went. And those 2 pounds put me over yet another 10 pound milestone. I was so depressed. So very depressed. Maybe that's why I sucked majorly on the treadmill.
My plan was to walk one "lap" on the treadmill, run one "lap." There's a digital light thingie on the treadmill display that looks like a lap. Each lap is a quarter mile. So I walked the first quarter of the lap and then ran the remaining 3 quarters of the lap to get warmed up. I wouldn't even call it running. Shoot, I don't even think it can be classified as jogging I was going so slow (4.5). And I didn't even think I would make that one lap! All I remember is that walk one lap, run one lap went out the window.
I wound up doing 2 miles in 30 minutes. I think I half walked, half "ran" the first mile and then just walked the second mile because I was so tired. Pathetic. Utterly pathetic. I used to run 3 miles non-stop daily once upon a time. Now I can't even run a quarter of a mile at a very slow pace non-stop.
