It's So Frigging Hot Outside!

Within the last week I've been running on the treadmill. I'm not sure if that's ok or not. With the scorching temperatures outside, I've been forced to run inside at the gym. Last Sunday, I was looking forward to my run until I noticed that my ipod was not charged :( Oh well, I was there to workout and clear my mind. I ran 2 miles while I watched Pearl Harbor on the television. It is so tempting to not start a workout once you realize your ipod is dead. My relationship with my ipod is bittersweet. I love it because it keeps me motivated throughout my workout but then I hate it because I rely on technology to keep me going instead of my own inner strength. I hope you all can relate.

I recently read an article about training for a race on the treadmill. I can recall that it was ok to do so, but I just need to be sure that I have at least one day out of the week where I'm running outside. Also, I need to increase my incline to 1 on the treadmill. I'll give that a shot over the weekend.

Tuesday I needed to get in a run for the day, so I went between work and a program that I had to teach later that evening. I gave myself 30mins. to get in and out. Throughout the short amount of time I was in the gym, I was sweating like no other. Once I got back to work to change, I put my gym clothes in the car and left them in for 24 hours. My stinky, sweaty gym clothes had been sitting inside my car with temperatures in the high 90s to 100 degrees. Gross! When I went to teach my step and tone class Wednesday evening I couldn't find my gym clothes. I forgot they were in the car! When your at a weight that is unacceptable to you, you don't think about getting multiple pairs of really tight gym pants to workout in. You get one pair because you are tired of buying a size large and you are hoping that this will be the last time. Although, of course the smart thing to do is to at least buy two pairs so that you won't have to wear stinky, sweaty, day old gym pants to teach a class in. Long story short, I'm so glad that we only had 3 people in class and they were all able to spread out that way they could not smell me. I feel sorry for those who walked by me while I was on the treadmill rockin out to some Rob Base & DJ EZ "It Takes Two To Make a Thing Go Right."

Ok, I guess I should be getting back to work. Oh the life as an adult and being in a job that makes you think about all the possible ways of trying to get fired. Yep, that's my life as of now. Happy Happy Thursday!!

For real, thank you to those who are reading my blog.
