Veteran  869    Stevens Point, Wisconsin |  Subject: You know it's a great workout when....While I was doing a long run on the treadmill I thought this could be a good fun thread. Or maybe it was just the boredom, who knows anyways I'll start. You know it's a great workout when.... Your sweat is on the treadmill next to you. |

Master 8247  Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: You know it's a great workout when.... You're really pushing it on the trainer and your cat stands on a nearby desk, eyes huge with concern, and "talks" to you (squeaks), clearly worried that you will expire and be unable to feed him in the future. (Worse yet, cat jumps up on the aerobars to make his point, thereby getting your sweat all over his fur.) |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: You know it's a great workout when.... After working out on the treadmill or bike trainer in the basement you have to give serious consideration as to how you are going to make it back up to the main floor. |

New user 1351 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: You know it's a great workout when.... When you're doing a hard workout on a spinning bike at the gym and the 3 floor to ceiling windows around you are completely fogged over, and then the staff member comes over to say that he's never seen that happen before. |

Master 4118 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: You know it's a great workout when.... You're standing in Starbucks for your post-run warm beverage after logging something over 13 miles in the middle of winter and completely feeling the 'runner's high' - smiling like a dork with not a care in the world. The barista looks at you and is confused about how you can be so happy. :D Edited by juniperjen 2014-12-15 9:16 AM |

| 105 | Subject: RE: You know it's a great workout when.... Your waiting for the bus to shuttle you back from the company update/party and realize it's only 6+ miles back to work. You take off in your jeans, button-up shirt, carrying your heaviest winter coat, and wearing dress style shoes and you beat quite a few of your co-workers back to work Of course they had to deal with a sweaty and smelly guy for the last hour or so of work, but it ranks (in both meanings of the word) as an epic workout.... FYI, tender toes from the shoes, but no blisters |

NOt to far from the truth for me, several years ago (actually in 38 days it will be 5 years ago), but I was doing a hard work out and I pushed as hard as I could and ended up with a heart attack. BTW Note for anyone in the future, the er docs don't like you driving yourself to the er if you think you are having a heart attack. |
