You know it is hot in the Alumni Gym when...

Running in the Alumni Gym was quite the experience. I was super nervous, so nervous in fact that I skipped the sign-in sheet, which I got in trouble for about two steps later. I signed in and took the treadmill by the drinking fountain, rookie mistake. As it turns out lots of people drink out of that drinking fountain, no kidding people in a gym drink water!? Anyway they would drink, turn around, and there would be my panting and flushed self looking pathetic.

Never Again

The is no service in the Gym so I couldn't use TinyShark to play my usual running playlist which left me with only the Shins or Ray LaMontagne. So the Shins obviously won that battle. Not the best running music, next time I'll bring my iPod.

I do not know if it is the change in altitude or the fact that I have been running everyday for a little over a week now but today running was not so hard. I didn't hate every second of it which is kind of unusual.

Where are we on here?

Also the Alumni Gym was HOT! So many bodies sweating and steaming in a little gym in the basement on a hot humid day. Yumm-o. It didn't take long for those satisfying trickles of seat to come pouring down my face, the things that make me happy when I run are gross and silly.

You know it is hot in the Alumni Gym when you walk into South Hall and it feels good and cool.

Next time I go to the Alumni Gym (tomorrow) I want:
to find a time when not as many people are there
the treadmill far away from that blasted drinking fountain
to remember to sign the sing-in sheet
and to have better music 


Run on. Run on. Life is good. I'm back at Trinity and this day is making me incredibly happy.

Hope your Monday is great!
