I started a new job recently. A few of the guys on the team have been going to the gym on a regular basis. I decided to start going with them and brought my gym clothes today. I was expecting a legs day, since that was what we discussed last week. But a problem came up with one of the components we build, causing several people to work on it through lunch. Since I’m new, I wasn’t involved with the project that needed a little extra help today, so I went to the gym on my own.
You can’t really do a whole lot by yourself, and I wasn’t sure if the leg workout would get delayed till tomorrow, or just skipped for this week. Not wanting to do 2 legs workouts in a row (or 2 of anything else I may have chosen instead), I opted for running on the treadmill. It’s sort of the wimp’s way out, but I figure I really do need the running if I’m serious about surviving the 10k run at the end of the Spudman this year. So I ran… for a ways… then walked, then ran a little more.
All in all, I’m glad I at least went to the gym instead of sitting around or grabbing a big lunch. It was a much better choice.
