Paint Fumes

The two weeks following Labor Day, my gym does their annual cleaning. They close & drain the pool, the locker rooms and the raquetball rooms and deep clean them.

I went up to the gym tonight to do my workout on a spinning bike and as soon as I walked in the door, I knew I wouldn't be there long. I walked in the door & paint fumes hit me like a TON of bricks!

I still went and got on the bike upstairs and I was able to do 20 minutes of cycling, but the paint fumes were just too much to handle. The only circulation they had was fans sitting on the floor going full blast, but other than that, it didn't seem like they had any circulation.

So, I cut my workout short tonight and instead of only having to run 6 miles tomorrow, I now need to incorporate 90 minutes of cycling in to my workout as well. And NO I won't be going to the gym. I won't be going to the gym until they open the pool back up in 1 1/2 weeks.

I just think that if they can't properly circulate air in the gym so that the paint fumes are so strong, they should close the entire gym down for 2 weeks. I'm thinking it's kind of dangerous to be working out in those conditions.

I'm Feeling Guilty...

I'm feeling guilty right now because I haven't gone to the gym today. I didn't need to swim this morning, so I didn't get up early to do that. When I got home from work I was supposed to go up and ride a bike for 1 hour and then run 6 miles. I took a little cat nap and I just haven't had the energy to go.

Granted, I've had a headache all day too. The nap was much needed and I still haven't got rid of my headache.

So, to make up for not going tonight, instead of going to the bar tomorrow night, I will come home from work and hit the gym.

But I still feel guilty for not getting up and going.

Predicament

So, I'm in kind of a predicament. My gym membership expires this weekend. I don't want to renew my membership because I'm hopefully going to be moving out of the county next month, so I don't want to spend money on a gym membership that is not going to be convenient for me to use. Granted, my gym has a monthly punch pass, but it is $60 for 25 visits. :(

I don't know if I should just bite the bullet and spend $60 so I can go swimming 25 times, or if I should just give up swimming for the next month.

Well, and I haven't found a place to move yet, so I can't get a gym membership by where I'm going to live in a month.

Crap...I hate making decisions like this.
