Possibly due to my frequent visits to the gym and the thought of going to to new one, I had a nightmare about forgetting which locker I put clothes in.  I was very glad to wake up.

I met a friend at the gym at 5:45 to run on the treadmill.  Don't ask me why.  It was their idea. We planned to run in the "Cardio Cinema" which I have never seen or used.  Since I don't even wear headphones when I run the thought of watching of movie at the same time would really be new territory.  I arrived a little early just to check it out and to get my bearings.  I entered the door and to my amazement it looked just like a movie theatre except in the place of the chairs there were a bunch of cardio machines including a few treadmills.  It was quite the sight to see.  Fortunately all of the treadmills were full so I had an excuse to run on the normal treadmills.  So will I ever attempt to run in the "Cardio Cinema" again?  I can't say for sure but the thought of it makes me feel a little queasy.

3 miles at about 6:30, 8 at 6.  Legs didn't feel great so I will probably take it easy the next couple of days.  Painter's on Saturday!

Dude, I love the Cardio Cinema. Except they always choose crappy movies here in American Fork.

I don't like the American Fork one because it's so dark inside. It makes me afraid that I'm going to get sucked up into someone's treadmill or lose a hand in a bike or something. If you can't see the buttons or the edge of the machine, it's too dark.

I was at the Gold's in Murray. The room was definitely very dark. I will need to try it out before I pass judgment.
