Ha, ha.

This is the perfect ecard for today. I have been trying to do interval sprints at the gym. Which means about 1 minute of walking and 30 seconds of sprinting at about 9 or 9.5. It is TOUGH. But I like it. It is a welcome break from the jogging I have been doing. Plus intervals are supposed to be very effective.

I did find it funny today that I got on a treadmill next to a heavier guy who was doing a steady jog when I started doing my intervals. It usually surprises people, because 9.5 is a pretty fast run for someone my height, but before you know it I am already reducing the speed. I think I sparked something in him, though, because about halfway through my intervals, he sped up to LIGHTENING speed and went until he couldn't go anymore.

Sometimes I have zero motivation to go to the gym...but I go anyway, and sometimes (not always!) I find my motivation right there in the gym. Sometimes when I am particularly unmotivated I can get on a machine with someone next to me who is either pushing themselves really hard which causes me to push myself hard too, or I get on next to someone who looks like they are waaaay slower than me (and I say this shamefully) to make myself feel better. Like a five star athlete. A Triathlon runner.
