Although exercise is not my forte, I know that it’s fantastic for me, so I do it as often as I can… I started running in university, as well as I haven’t seemed to be able to get out of it since then. It’s actually because some of my best friends are runners… My best friend, Abby, runs about ten miles a day on top of her other workouts. I’m not quite as eccentric as Abby is, although I do my best to run about three miles per day. I’m not actually sure how Abby ever talked me into it, but she somehow convinced me to take a trip to South America to run this super marathon thing with her. I couldn’t feel it when the word “yes” came out of my mouth in response to her asking me to make the trip with her. Before my friend and I knew it, my friend and I were off to South America to run a marathon, surprisingly, the marathon itself wasn’t too bad, then we both made it through pretty easily. It was, but, at the gym the few afternoons after the marathon that actually got me. My appreciation for a/c grew largely during those afternoons, but for some reason, they were totally against running a/cs at the gym my friend and I attended, as well as it was literally one of the worst experiences of my life. Working out is taxing enough on its own without adding a ninety-five degree room to it. By the time my friend and I got back to the U.S. I was so excited to workout in an air conditioned room that I went straight to the gym right after I left the airport.
