Signs It’s Time to Return to the Gym

January 13, 2012

You may know this is the time of year I clear out of the gym temporarily to make way for the resolutioners. It’s my tradition. But this week, let the record show, I made an unlikely, unplanned, premature return. The universe was giving me signs:

1. Our water heater blew up and the gym was my only chance for a hot shower, unless I wanted to saunter down the block in my robe, knocking on neighbor’s doors. May as well sneak in a workout before that shower.

2. Our home internet connection went down. Hard. For days. Imagine the time this freed up.

3. My ornery hamstring was behaving so nicely, it’s virtually begging to go back to that yoga class.

4. It’s finally snowing like a mother. Ok, you’re right, this did not stop me from getting my run on. But I swear those plows are gunning for me.

5. Dog attack. Yes another one. Not sure what’s going on with all the canine hate lately. I suspect my new lotion is redolent of beef jerky.

So yes, back to gym I went and know what? It wasn’t even packed! No need to park in the next county and shuttle bus in. Resolutioners where are you? Other than two obvious ones in my spin class, everything seemed pretty status quo. Who knew?

Has your gym been packed?
Have you ever taken a total break from the internet? How long?

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
