2 Miles: Unpacking, rain, and health club
It has been raining non-stop all day today, the wind has started to pick up and I don't see any way to perform my two miles.
We have spend the whole day running errands, back and forth to the old house a few times, and I'm just glad to be out of that place. We have only spend two nights at our new place, but it seems like night and day. I can't believe we lived there for one year, so cramp, yet happily storing cash away.
The rain commence around 10 this morning and has not ceased. They claimed is a northeastern, I'm still not sure what this means, something about the storm coming from the North East, but I'm in the South East ... come on!
I see no option, but to go running at the gym. Gosh, it has been over a month since I step foot in that place. I guess this prove that sometimes there is a need to pay the high premiums for such amenities. I had been going to the gym in the wee hours of the AM until my wife underwent surgery and all exercise activities seemed to had cease soon after until the 2 mile challenge came along.
The place was very crowded, now I remember why we decided to exercise while it was still dark and was hard to roll out of bed. I jumped on the only free treadmill to perform the arduous task. It seems to me that it was just a lot easier to run on the treadmill than on the streets of my neighborhood. I went two miles and decided to extend it to three, finishing at 3.25 miles and 500+ calories burnt.
The bottom line is that when there is a will, there is a way, I needed to do my two miles and I wasn't going to let the bad weather stop me from doing it. It felt cramp and uncomfortable to be doing it at the gym, I don't know what has changed. The place still the same, I was a gym rat before, but seems like nature has change me instead.Labels: 2-mile, exercise, Jacksonville
