What's Our Excuse?
Spotted on three treadmills — simultaneously — at the gym today:
* An 80-year-old man who for the past few years has shuffled around the fitness room's circuit with the help of a walker. He always wears the same striped polyester pants and long-sleeved, collared shirt. It took him about two minutes to climb onto the treadmill and get it started.
* A 50-ish blind woman who runs 2,000 miles a year and who has a smile permanently imprinted on her face. She recently asked if I had heard of interval training, which is what she was doing.
*A 60-ish woman using an oxygen tank to breathe through her nose as she walked.
What's your excuse for not trying something out of your comfort zone? What's mine?
