This week, my schedule has been so erratic. I have had to make the choice of whether or not to get more sleep, so I can function during the day, or get up and run, and act like a zombie all day. 15 hour shifts can really stop the ball from rolling. I have tried to keep an ongoing hold on my diet for the most part, but not running really is a downer. When I run in the morning, I feel more energized during the day. This week, there might be 0 miles logged, but next week will be a lot better Im sure. I did not bother doing a weigh in this week.What is the weirdest thing you have seen or have seen some one doing at the gym?
Me? I always get a kick out of seeing people run on the treadmill while hold the rails on the side. What does that do? .........to each their own I guess. (And it's the same person doing it all the time, 10 mph, at a 12% incline to make it more interesting. She just holds her self up and lets the tread go by and touches it with her feet so often. You would have to be there.)
In the meantime, Ill see what I can do to maintain a rolling motion on the ball. Who knows? The week's not over just yet.

The weirdest thing I have ever seen at the gym was actually in the locker room. Some guy was shaving in the nude with his "goodies" resting on the sink! What the heck!!!
We have a lady who holds onto the front railing for dear life while she sets it at 10mph. Mind you, she's about 4 feet tall, so it's pretty painful to watch her do this.
My shifts are only 12hours & I still opt for sleep.
@ Kepa - that is NASTY.
@Kepa, very nasty indeed!! I actually have a rant about the locker room at the gym too, but I thought I would start with the not so out of the the ordinary. That is just sick.
now kenley, skipping a weigh-in is not very accountable!! you have to weigh the ups and downs - just note that it was a stressful week due to work / not sleeping well or what not. (ok, end lecture).
sleep is important so you are making the right choice. not sleeping + running (more stress on your body) will just wear you down more.
I saw someone using a laptop while they were on the stationary bike. There was another person using their kindle (or something like it) on the treadmill doing a crossword puzzle!
@kepa that is beyond gross!
Same thing at my gym except it's a tiny redhead on a step mill but totally braced with her arms so her weight is not on her feet as she steps. Nutso!
The weirdest thing I have ever seen at the gym is the black Knight with the crutches!
Sleep is important, running in early morning must not be a sacrifice.
