I hate treadmill workouts with a passion. More than I hate raw mushrooms, and more than I hate the fact that my roommates refuse to take out the trash, wash their dishes in a timely fashion, and refill the toilet paper in the bathroom. So yes, I really do hate treadmill workouts.
I also hate to repeal a statement such as said statement above. I'm pretty firm on my declarations, but for once I'll willingly take it back and say, treadmill workouts can be, in fact, enjoyable.
Let's talk about Fike Recreation Center for a moment, the fitness center here on campus. Clearly one of the perks of being at a division one school, there's more equipment than I know what to do with. There's an indoor track, a pool, multiple courts, ab room, weights, dance rooms, AND THE MOST INTENSE TREADMILLS I'VE EVER SEEN. Okay, small town Maine girl is coming out for a moment, we don't have treadmills like this in Maine! I could run on a treadmill everyday of my life in Fike. Let's talk about how I can watch TV (aka my first episode of Glee ever, and with my own headphones), I can see myself run on a track, a mountain, or even a 5k nature race...and these are only the features I explored today! There's even a USB port that I bet I could track my workouts with! If it wasn't for the cute boy running next to me (always an incentive to continue running) I would have attempted to check out every single button and setting while running, no matter how ungraceful I appeared at that moment.
Tomorrow is another day, filled with classes, meetings, labs, and lectures...leaving not much time for running. However, Thursday night, during Grey's Anatomy, I fully intend to be busting my ass at Fike, catching up with Meredith and Derek.
