Fox-free and well-lit, the gym provided a nice place to run for the second day in a row today. Thank you, Retro Fitness. Gotta give them credit for innovation and totally awesome throwbacks. The entire gym is designed around an 80’s theme. Every day they play a different 80’s movie in a separate room called the cardio theater. It even has a curtain blocking the entrance. Inside the theater, you’ll find bikes, treadmills and ellipticals. And what was playing today? Mrs. Doubtfire! Ok, for you movie buffs out there, I realize Mrs. Doubtfire was made in 1993 (and yes, I had to look that up), but whatever. I still loved it. You just can’t beat a good run mixed in with some awkward Robin Williams cross-dressing. In other news, after day two on a treadmill, I am noticing that my legs are hurting and my right knee is a little funky. Not sure why. They say treadmills are actually easier and provide more cushion for the joints. Perhaps it’s because I’m running faster than I normally do outside. Or maybe the powerhouse combo of the Flying Nun, James Bond and Euphegenia Doubtfire inspired me to push a little harder today. Ah, and lest we forget about Joey Lawrence’s little brother kickin’ it old school to House of Pain. Good stuff.
