So, we rejoined the YMCA last month. Or rather, I rejoined and dragged Kevin along with me because the family that sweats together...gets stinky together, or something. It was a fancy schmancy YMCA when I was a member before but now it's even schmancier. Apparently they got an influx of donations, because not only did they install a second pool and a soccer field, they bought pretty much all brand new cardio equipment.
This of course means that now there are rows upon rows of spanking new LifeFitness ellipticals and bikes and treadmills, all with their own little TV sets and cable. The cable is a nice thing, because we've started working out later at night; we've found that if you go to the gym after 8pm, they are much less likely to yell at you for staying on the machines for an hour.
Last night I decide to hope on the treadmill instead of the elliptical, figuring I should get some walking training in what with the Breast Cancer 3-Day rapidly approaching. And I decided I should go ahead and just watch the Thursday night NBC lineup because hey, familiar and funny, can't lose combination, right?
Except I didn't realize that watching 30 Rock while trying to climb up a "hill" can be hazardous to one's health, since seeing Tina Fey yell "DO THE WORM!" to a castmate made things difficult for me. By the time Alec Baldwin was telling the crab to fight the worm, I was trying desperately to both A) not start laughing loudly like a loon in the middle of the gym and B) not go flying off the treadmill because I was laughing like a loon and fell down.
Thanks the universe for those handrails, is all I gotta say.
