30 min limit????

Ok, so I haven’t had my gym membership very long…

And ok, I only recently could even attempt to run for 30 min straight… 

But 30 min?!?!?  Well let me start from the beginning.

I had a rough day and had to pick up my son from football practice around 6:30… After work I ran to the gym thinking I needed to get in 4 or 5 miles.  OMG the gym was PACKED and all the treadmills were taken except for the one I knew didn’t work.  I noticed that two of the men on the treadmills were (yes I am going there) walkers, so I went to the treadmill that didn’t work, made a little effort to push buttons, and said to the guy walking on the treadmill next to me “darn I was hoping to get in 4 or 5 miles tonight before I have to pick up my son”.  Then I spent 10 or 15 min on the elliptical looking pitifully over at the treadmills until one was vacated (not by either walker by the way).  So I did my workout until I ran out of time and had to leave to pick up my son.  I get home and start pontificating to my husband about the walkers and how I didn’t get in enough miles and then it happens… he looks at me and says “well that is why you are supposed to only use them for 30 minutes”.  What???  I had NO IDEA, though my hubby assures me that it is clearly marked on a sign at the row of treadmills.  So, now I feel bad… feel bad for being snotty about the walkers, feel bad for having used the treadmills for more than 30 min when the gym was busy, feel bad for my little scene pushing buttons on the broken treadmill…

I am horrible!

Ok I hope this wasn’t too much honesty too soon on this blog.
