While going to school for school purposes was horrendous (So glad I'm done!!!), I am so grateful to Roosevelt for honoring free gym access for life to its alumni. Boom! In the interest of not getting caught in a thunderstorm yesterday after work, I decided to take my speed training indoors to the treadmill. It was a great workout!
Although the gym is small, there is never anyone in there. When I'm alone, I close the door and sing at the top of my lungs between breaths. When there are people there, as two were yesterday, I get excited because I act like I am being watched: performing, if I may. Hehehe. There's no better motivator than knowing someone is peeking to see how fast you're going or for how long. Oh, and I LOVE it when I stay on the treadmill longer than the person next to me. It may be petty, but again, whatever motivates, right?
I digress. So, with an audience of two watching from the weight benches, I tackled those speed drills like CrrrAzy! It felt so good and my calves and arms are sore this morning - the sign of a good workout. 30 second sprints, 1:30 recovery. Repeat a gazillion times.
Today, my office is having a 5K over lunch that I'll be running (possibly in the rain). Should be fun!
