The healthcare worker in me thinks it's wonderful: People take advantage of a new year to alter their habits and adopt a healthy, new lifestyle. The gym rat in me knows that this lasts approximately 1 month, during which I get pissed off every time I head to the gym. "Go walk your 40:00 mile outside! And hang up your cell when you're on a treadmill!"
<Deep breath>
Outside it is. I don't mind running in the rain. And I don't care if everyone else doesn't like my singing.
That always did SUCK when I belonged to a nice gym out on the east coast. Bummer - but glad the rain didn't deter you. I might have just used the crowded gym, the rain, and fatigue as deterrents and marched right back home. Good for you!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha!! That is soo true!! Sad to say but you know most of them will be gone soon. Hope you enjoyed your run in the rain.
ReplyDeleteYou feel SOOO much better when you exercise out of doors. Even in the rain. It's their loss.
ReplyDeleteI like it when the newbies are there. I get to feel superior to a couple of people who don't know quite how to lift!
ReplyDeleteI am always happy for the newbies because I am not, but it is still irritating to have to alter my usual routine...
ReplyDeleteThe gym this time of year is crazy. Even Audubon park is packed with people!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I actually love running in the rain. I'm not a runner, but if it's raining I am more likely to run or power walk outside :) The gym gets SO busy this time of year, isn't it crazy?!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your rain-run!
Most New Years resolutions only last about 1 month. So in 1 month the gym will be empty again.
