So those of you who have read my previous posts know what a wimp I am and how I'm doing 025k in the gym. I'm on an off peak membership which means I can only use it between 10 and 4. I try to go at 10 to get it out of the way but have done afternoons too when I have had to. Well today as I was working all day I decided to pay to go off peak so I can stick to my regime *sounds like she knows what she's talking about*.
Anyway on entering the car park there were loads of cars and I thought I cant face this if it's really busy. When I got into the gym my fave treadmill was available so on I hopped.
Well of course it was a completely different crowd of people, the "after work, lunch is for wimps" brigade. It was the guy who was running on the machine 4 over from me was going for it hammer and tongs. The machines face the windows, honestly I thought he was going to run off the machine and through the window! The he kept putting his feet either side of the treadmill whilst having a break. But it was the thud, thud, thud. I was actually quite scared, it was the first time since I've started that I felt intimidated. I did my 5 min warm up and then started running all I could hear was the banging noise from the other machine. Then I felt overcome with mad hysterical laughter I had to suppress the giggles I felt it definitely helped me get through the first 3 minute slot - great and then through the second three minute slot.
I need to remember that image now for Friday so when the pressure's on the inside laughter takes over πππ
