18 Days and Counting

Do you know what I hate? I mean really hate?
Walking into the gym for the first time and running beside turbo-you know, the guy with his i-pod in running on speed 100 who has been running continuously for hours.
Or how about running next to the 65 year old woman. 
I just thought I had it easy-until her "warm-up" was speed 5 power walking and she broke out into a full run on speed 6.5 shortly there after.  
She. smoked. me.
She is 65
To make it worst, she was back in the gym tonight.
After running two and a half miles on the elliptical, I decided to attempt running my last 1/5 mile on the treadmill. Yes she joined in on the fun right next to me.  After briskly walking a few minutes I decide to up the ante and begin running..oh wait, that's when I find that my knee is aching so badly I can't even lightly jog.  And grandma, well...she's sprinting on speed 6 again.  Mortifying.  Just mortifying.
Here's to hoping your week has started better than mine!
I've got exciting news to share!
