I Stayed On The Tread Mill Running BECAUSE....

Day 201

November 25, 2013

Team Zybko

I laced up my Nikes for a Couch to 5K workout and opened the front door, the wind cut right through me like a seen on T.V. knife. Good. I didn't really want to run anyway. That was easy.
Fast forward a few hours. The kids needed to get out. They needed some interaction and I probably could use a conversation with someone with the ability to grow armpit hair. We make it the gym. I realized I forgot my earphones. My knee hurt a little. I had the wrong color socks on. Maybe I should just take the the Zumba class that starts in ten minutes instead of running. I'm pretty sure I even heard my mom calling me for dinner. My motivation had taken the first fast train to lazyville, 4pm departure. 
So long suck-ahhh!
Fast forward 20 minutes or so. I was content with wandering around ducking in empty hallways to check Face Book on my phone. Maybe my ambition will show would show up on the newsfeed somewhere. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Fast forward through the bad service within the cement walls, I finally got my big butt on a tread mill. Once I hit the quick start key it was all downhill from there or at least 0% grade. 

I stayed on the tread mill running because:

The kids were having fun in the kids area

The kids were driving me slightly crazy

I stayed on the tread mill running because:
I was really into an episode of Parks and Recreation
Even with just subtitles and no sound it was better than laundry  

I stayed on the tread mill running because: 
The lady on the Jacobs ladder insisted on fiddling with her iPod
I couldn't resist watching, if it was me I would have fallen off
Maybe she worked for the circus part time 

I stayed on the tread mill running because:
The lady to the left and right of me didn't stop, they kept at it
I even tried to sneak a peak at their lit up numbers but almost fell 
but remembered I wasn't in competition with anyone else

I stayed on the tread mill running because:
I was trying to master the running selfie to send to Baby Daddy
but never did
hence no sweaty cutesy soccer mom picture attached here
This is harder than you may think

I stayed on the tread mill running because:
The voice on my iPhone told me to
and we all know how smart those people are

I stayed on the tread mill running because:
I was totally into the conversation between a mom an her daughter
My new tread mill neighbors of the day
The dinner she had planned sounded must better than mine

I got off the tread mill because:
Before I knew it 4 and a half miles were behind me

Whatever your reasons are
JUST DO IT!
