Upon entering the gym Sunday morning for a run, bike and swim, I was immediately met by a human wall blocking my path. Apparently there is a an AMAZING New Years deal at the Y this month. As a result, every resolution setting deal grabber decided that they wanted to workout. Now, while I commend these fellow resolution setters for getting up and moving and making an effort to be fitter Americans, it has definitely put a damper on my gym experience. The once quiet indoor track is now riddled with walkers in rows of two's and three's. They chat and laugh and converse while I bob and weave and dodge. Then there are the treadmills, elliptical trainers and stationary bikes. Throughout my time as a gym member, I have never waited for a machine. Oh how sweet those days were. Then there's the pool. The days of enjoying the solitude of my own lane are long gone.
On an up note, I realize that this inconvenience is most likely only temporary. I give it until next Tuesday.
