Kind Words from Strangers

We woke to snow this morning! Just a small dusting but enough to get me excited about future snow and to make it feel a bit more like the Christmas season. I was a bit late heading to the gym because I wanted to avoid the morning rush hour and people trying to head to work, with snow on the road.

I started off my work out with a mile run on the treadmill while I waited for an arc trainer to free up. I was about 20 minutes into my workout when a  middle-aged lady I had seen around the gym took over the machine next to me. She was on hers about 30 minutes and before she left she made it a point to pat me on the back and say "you're doing great! keep it up!" She didn't give me a chance to take my ear buds out of my ears to respond before walking away. I should have been the one praising her. She KILLS on the arc trainer everytime I see her. She carefully logs all of her workouts. Me keep it up? Lady, you simply rock! YOU keep it up!!

So thank you, random gym lady! Your words of kindness and encouragement were over-appreciated!
