At the gym tonight
So, I went to the gym tonight and it was at peak hour (I never go at this time). Cardio was swamped but I found a treadmill since it was cardio day for me. I hopped on for my warm up walk and began my C25K program, however the girl in front of me was running as was the guy beside me. SO, I began running and ran too fast.…

In a rut and just "dont care"
The title says it all.
