That damn treadmill...

Somebody at the gym was cussing out their treadmill yesterday - somebody didn't have a good attitude...This is probably a good time to take off, sleep in and give your muscles a rest. Attitude is everything, particularly when you have to get up early to get a workout in, or squeeze one in between appointments, or come home after a long day and get a late one in. This may be your only "free" time; your chance to get outside in the fresh air, share a few laughs with your running buddy, or even take some time to yourself, and just let your endorphins take over. If the "want to" isn't there, then the "can do" isn't going to be that great anyway - you'll end up with a slow run, a half-assed workout in the gym, or lazy pilates class. Call it a day, and start over tomorrow - or the next day. That smile on your face shows you and everyone else you're having a good time, you're energized, and you are glad to be there - and that's contagious! Melissa
