First time I've ever been naked at work

semperfionaAfter working in this building nigh three years, last week I did the necessary things to be able to use the fitness room: I signed the medical waiver. Yes, that's all it required, and yes, I am that much of a lazy ass.
Today, I finally used the equipment for the first time. I did 36:57 on the treadmill, totalling about 1.9 miles. I was dripping with sweat afterward, and took advantage of the shower rooms $COMPANY has thoughtfully provided along with the fitness equipment.
Bringing a book was a good plan. It made the time go by much more easily. Book-on-iPod would also work well, especially for other machines.
Next time: bring soap and shampoo. Bring water bottle or cup to workout room.
One of the reasons I'm trying to get back into better shape is in order to be a more productive and useful member of the CERT team. (Yes, that's like ATM machine or PIN number. But it seems that for me, most acronyms do better as adjectives than as nouns. The counterexamples of NASA and other government agencies notwithstanding.) It occurred to me recently that I'd do much better lifting disaster victims, or debris off of them, and be able to do it longer, if I improved my stamina and strength.
