The Eliptical

MP3 Check,
Water Check,

Start out slow for five. AC-DC in ear. Push hard for at least twenty. Wore out, slow down for five, Done. Seems simple enough yes? A little sweat a little burn, always good.

Until it is not. 4 times a week trudge down to the basement and begin. Thing cost about $500 so have to use it. Dogs hate it too. Got it, wish it was a tanning bed.

Hate it, do it anyway. Hate it, do it anyway. Hate it, do it anyway. It is the easiest thing that can be used, no impact on your joints, smooth easy flow. It can even make your stomach muscles sore if you try hard enough.

Keep hating something and it will turn on you. Put enough hate into it and it will come back. One day it gets even.

Sudden adrenalin rush. Push, Faster, Faster, Faster. Sweat runs, will not stop, can not stop. Faster, Faster.. it starts to hum, then to whine.. Dogs hear and run into room barking. Can not stop, Dogs whining too now. They can not call 911. Try to scream but have no breath. Muscles burn.

Suddenly.... WHAM an elbow to the ribs, "Wake up and stop whining! Dam it, I'm trying to sleep here!"

Next day..
