The Case of the Sweaty Old Men

The thought of running on the treadmill between two old men just grosses me out. This morning, I went to do my last run of the week & normally I would be running outside, however I just was not sure about the weather today. Ugh...I should've just ran outside.

At the 24 Hour Fitness that I go to, there are 4-5 "special treadmills" amongst the 30 "regular" ones & I almost always try to get one of the "special" ones. What do I mean by special? Well, this may be silly, BUT they are taller, which I LOVE because I am a tall girl and I want to have as little head movement as possible while running long distance--meaning I do not need to tilt my head all the way down to see my pace/mileage/etc. Secondly, they have big holes to put your water bottles, towels, w/e in & these 4-5 treadmills are located right in front of this huge fan that just blows right into your face. Sometimes I just pretend I am having a major photoshoot and my hair is just blowing...sooo nice...ha!

Well, today wasn't so nice! The fan was blowing humid air onto me AND I ended up running in between two old men, who were sweaty & honestly I think one was tooting the entire time that he was running. Needless to say...it was not pleasant at all. Ugh! Men! I mean put some deodorant on and bring a flipping towel so that your treadmill doesn't look like you slobbered all over it!!!!!!!

Oh and Please Stop checking me out too! I am TAKEN!

Amen & Thank you!
