    Wannabe nobodies who jump on the machine next to you and go like a bat out of hell for all of 5 minutes

    Usually these wannabes have no incline resistance on......and then they get excited about how far they ran

    Rant over, their mothers must love them !

    My husband has this really annoying habit of texting me in the middle of my karate class. About the stupidest things! I keep telling him that from the moment I walk out the door until I walk back in, unless it's REALLY important, he shouldn't text me. At all.

    You carry your phone on you when you're in a karate class?:huh: I'd be annoyed if I were the instructor and 1) your phone kept going off and 2) you stopped to answer it.

    No no no, it's in my bag against the wall. I usually remember to turn it off, but if I get there late due to traffic it may slip my mind. We're pretty casual, but I never stop to answer it. I'd be doing push ups for ages if I did. :P I just wait until our short water break and then turn it off.

    Gotcha.

    I didn't think your karate instructor would let you get away with chit chatting during class! :)

    so you are saying that its rude of me to throw cheese puffs at my wife when shes on the treadmill? Im just trying to get her attention, so she can make me a sandwich, otherwise i would have to miss part of the game or pause it (but as we all know that is bad luck and could cost my team the win).

    btw. it REALLY ticks me off when she gets off that stupid machine and then puts that low fat mayo on my sandwich or forgets the chili on top of my fries. I mean. how hard can it be?

    obviously im joking. my wife and I support each other in our workouts and help each other eat properly and im blessed to have her in my life. for the record i dont even have a treadmill in the house (much less cheese puffs)

    Me in the "zone" (loud music in both ears/tv on closed caption) and my husband coming down to tell me some bullsh!t like "you should see the bathroom", or "our best friend is moving out of state". Can't is wait 30min until I'm done? P!sses me right off.
    Have you told him it pisses you off? Or just only posted here to MFP?

    Oh no, I keep it all to myself and just act pissy twards him without his knowledge of what he has done, but everyone else knows. The key to a healthy marriage, is it not?
    Run outside. It's better.
    ^^ Do that. Then when your husband asks why you are gone all the time running. Tell him its because he kept bothering you while at the house.

    This is the plan when it gets warmer out. I start my runs at 5a, so this only happens when I run on the weekend when we are both home. I am going to start running on the weekends outside to change it up...but not until the cold weather is gone

    That sucks that so many of you are married to incompatible partners.

    I could never marry someone who doesn't value exercise the same as I do and therefore would never interrupt me during a workout.

    LOL Yes, he's a terrible husband/best friend. Not sure how I have put up with him wanting to spend time with me for 20yrs. Your right....I should search for someone who doesn't want to spend any time with me at all. I should have known....


    To all the rest of us in situations that don't include over-possesive, *kitten*-hat hubbys, thanks for seeing this has a light-hearted post/mini vent.

    I love to run outside when the weather is nice. I live in a rural neighborhood with a lot of close family and friends living in the same area.

    All the time they will pass me jogging in their car/ motorcycle and slow down like they want t quick chat. I am usually just rude and run past with a quick wave. I don't want to stop or turn my tunes off.

    Why do you have your cell phones on you when you're doing your karata, dance, etc. Put them down! Learn the death stare! Kids have learned to leave me alone-lol

    Don't let cold stop you! With the proper clothes, you can run in just about any weather. Winter running is actually very nice.

    People who take up the whole pavement when I'm trying to run past drive me mental. Do you have to walk three in a row, at snails pace? Two seconds and I'll be past and you can hog the pavement again. Argh!

    My husband is very supportive, but when I'm doing my pre-breakfast DVD aerobic session it doesn't help him sitting on the sofa with his cereal saying things like "you're really going for it these days". or worse - "I lke the one on the left...."

    Oh, the interrupting SO. I have one of those. When I'm doing my JM30DS DVD, he'll turn on the faucet in the kitchen and say something. Not only can I not breathe enough to answer him, but I can't even hear what he's saying over the sounds of both the tv and running water from the faucet. And then HE acts annoyed when he has to repeat it because I didn't hear or I don't think it's important enough to stop, catch my breath, and respond.
