Slow Dread

Bad weather the other day forced the X-Man into the gym on a day my schedule called for a tempo run. Unfortunately, I discovered — after trying out all 10 dreadmills, which was slightly awkward on the ones people were using — that none of them go faster than 10 MPH. I realize I could set the incline to compensate and thrust me into my target heart-rate zone, but that seems too complicated. The X-Man likes to keep it real, and keep it simple. Solution: Find a new gym with heartier treadmills suited for elite athletes like myself.

In other news, the X-Man was feeling like his priorities had slipped out of alignment. Solution: Let my membership to singleathletes.com expire and sign up for an online triathlon coach. I need to get more bang for my buck.
