Someone with Some Power Didn’t Want me to Workout Today

So I’m at work like BLAH and didn’t want to work out (again – rainy, supposed to work from home today, slightly hungover) but I’m like no, I’m going! So I get to my office gym and DANG – no socks. What?! Crap. OH GOOD – there they are! Sigh. Crisis averted.

I hop on one of three treadmills and no sooner have I taken four steps (seriously – I hadn’t even gotten to the chorus of pocketful of sunshine) the treadmill stops. Dead. No power. Me and this other lady are like what?! Well she takes it outside… I’m determined to make it work (have I mentioned I’m allergic to grass? Yes, for real) So I turn them on/off, plug/unplug them. A guy tells me it’s a breaker and it’s happened before. I notice that these two step machines have power so I precede to take my plug over there. Won’t reach… the cord is stuck under another treadmill. Dude sees me struggling so, like a guy, picks up the treadmill. Dang – why couldn’t I have done that? Anywho I plug it in and voila- I’m going! Sigh. Crisis averted.

I get to about three quarters of a mile and a girl comes in and hops on the stair climber (yes, the one I unplugged). I pause my song and tell her the deal and say “you’re good – unplug the black one to plug yours in. Yes, the black one. Yes, leave the gray one al-.” She cut me off… when she unplugged my treadmill and I abruptly stopped AGAIN. She’s sorry of course, so, so sorry, tells me over and over but I’m like DANG can’t I just get in my 3 miles and ROLL?! After that I had no interruptions…. Although she did turn on the “gym music” so I had to turn up my pod volume up (seriously chick, get a pod) and she moved the fan a little and dare I say she got more from that move than me…

But I did it! Clearly against all odds but I’m DONE. Yessssss. Take THAT late night bagel bites!

Just realized I didn’t post yesterday’s assessment – eek – I’ll go do that now!
