1 hr 40 min eliptical. My back/rear hurts and I am not happy about this. Everything I do hurts, not just my exercise regime. 

Observances this morning: 1.more people like to run rather than elipitcal. At least at our gym. So because it's the new year, when peak time hits for people to arrive, the treadmills all get swallowed up or were already being used. So I noticed a lot of people come in and walk around looking for an empty one that doesn't exist. Thus this is the reason why I dislike the new year. To many gerbil's trying to run on the caged wheel. I also love summer for this reason. I don't have to feel like a caged gerbil. I can come in and lift then I leave back home to run on my beautiful river trail.

2. Some people look so gross when they come in. Come on! Is is that hard to brush your hair neatly and rinse your face? How about a 1 min tooth scrubbing for crying out loud? It's not that hard!

3. I use my jacket or long sleeve shirt to 'save' the eliptical on my right so that Mr. Albright (he was my teacher in high school) doesn't eliptical hell near me. He clears his throat loudly every 10 seconds and I CANNOT STAND IT! I saved it for no one and he knows it ha!

Roy the meat head taught me a few new stretches for my hurt lower buck/buns. I thought that was nice of him. He might be a meat head but he is sure kind and helpful to me.

Uh - HUM!!!! That is my clearing my throat.

Good observations. Sorry about your back. Get someone to work the knots out of your lower back. I have to rub M's out all the time. A good visit to the chiro always helps too.

I prefer muscle relaxers to the rub down, but I never turn one of those down either.

I think every gym has the guy that clears his throat every 30 seconds. Good times.

What annoys me most on the TM is when someone comes and constantly hits the front of the TM with their feet (bam! bam! bam!) with every stride. Speed the dang thing up or shorten your stride! Sheesh! It's like they are completely oblivious to the fact they are making a huge ruckus...yeah, we ALL sound like that on the TM, yup...just keep doing what your doing!

Nice save on the ellip! That throat clearing can get on my nerves as well, plus creepy old HS teacher doesn't help the equation!

I hate it when people make stinky on the treadmills. *That's* the worst (to me).
