The legs were feeling a bit sore today after yesterday's run. That's what happens when I disappear from running for almost a week and a half I guess.
But I still wanted to hit the gym after work. So I planned on grabbing a bike and just riding for about 45 minutes. Armed with my iPod and a book I went to the YMCA and was floored to find that all of the bikes (well all of the bikes that I like, not a fan of the recumbent ones) were taken.
But there was a lonely treadmill. The one I used last night that had the non-functioning TV.
Like I said, I don't like the recumbent bikes. So I decided to jump on the treadmill and do a short run while waiting for a bike. I wasn't planning on going far. Maybe a mile and then doing some walking.
But when I started running? It actually felt good. And I was running at my normal early run pace (about a 10:20 mile). So my mile turned into 2 miles. And by the time I finished 20 minutes and 40 seconds later, the bike I wanted was free.
So I finished off the workout with 25 minutes on the bike and rode 7 miles.
And tonight? The troublesome treadmill TV? Worked perfectly.
UGG I hate when all the bikes are being used! At least the TV worked on the treadmill!
ReplyDeletei also hate recumbent bikes. just feels too odd to me. but the one time i used one my butt felt SO WORKED so maybe they aren't all bad.
