Oh holy crap!

I went to the gym tonight to accomplish two things. One - Work out. Two - Get some reading done for school. I got a lot of both done.

In the middle of my workout (originally a 60 minute run on the machine), two middle aged ladies couldn't figure out how to start up on the machine. I showed them how to get going on it. In doing so, I reset my machine by accident at around 30 minutes. I started it again, and now I'm counting down from 60 again. Crap. "I'll just stop at 30" I told myself. Well, I looked down in the middle of my reading and the counter was now at 20 minutes... I had gone 10 minutes past my usual 60. "I wonder if I can go the full 60?" So I pushed on and kept reading. Next thing I knew I was in the 5 minute cooldown aspect of it.

After all was said and done, 95 minutes - 7.5 miles. I could have gone another 90. I'm almost certain of it. But, the people around me might not like the smell too much.
