Back at the gym, the Universe paid me to work out today. I found a cool quarter left in the drink holder of the same treadmill I was on yesterday. Score!

Two boys in their late teens to early 20s decided to jump off the treadmills next to me without wiping them off, which squicks me to no end.

When I was in WA and using the Y near me, I would go for a few weeks and then get sick and then get better and come back and work out for a couple of weeks and then get sick and then come back....rinse, lather, repeat....until I realized that there were quite a number of people that did not wipe the machines off when they were finished working out. Once I started wiping the machines off before and after my workouts, I fell ill far less. Lesson learned and easy enough to counter but it still sets my teeth on edge when people are not considerate of others in the gym.
So, I made sure to tell the lovely older couple who got on those machines shortly afterwards that they had not been wiped down and they did so before they worked out.

They proceeded to run me into the ground.

I love it when people surprise me.
