I'd intended to leave Teh Oroffice early, say, 4:00 or 4:30, and get some quality time in on the Cybexes, but they kept me busy up until closing so I ended up beelining for the treadmills. At this point, only half them work. There have been signs on the broken ones saying they're getting new motherboards "next week" for 2 weeks now. Also, it seems like no matter what time of day I get there, there's a cleaning crew underfoot. The place is not that big; full-time housekeeping is uncalled for. Today they were mopping the locker room just as I was ready to shower before leaving. Basically prime time, for a gym. I hope this isn't going to be a steady thing. I also hope they fix at least one of the showers in the men's locker. There's one that works, one missing the faucet handle, and one which only runs cold. Phenomenally, I've only once been stuck with the cold-only.
So when I got there, the only available treadmill had a half-broken display - specifically, the lower half, which records time, distance, grade and heartrate. So I clocked my watch and set out at a stiff 6.3mph pace. After ~10 minutes, the machine next to me opened up so I switched over for another 2.05 miles in 25m and some seconds. This, despite shoelaces on each foot coming untied at different times. Overall, very jerky session and v.glad it's behind me.
