Unfortunately, I don't enjoy working out in silence. I don't even enjoy working in silence--I always have music or an audiobook on when I'm in the office. This need for entertainment is kind of bad when running outside or for long periods of time, because something has to keep me occupied enough to make me forget that I'm excercising--no easy task.
You can imagine my excitement when I just learned that the Fairfax Station gym (close to my house) has a cardio theater: a room with a movie screen where you can run and watch movies!!! AMAZING!!! Too bad I can't run an indoor marathon, because if we had a string of good movies, I could keep going forever. And really, a marathon would (ideally) only take a couple of movies, or maybe even just one really long one, like King Kong or the English Patient. Hmm... how to devise some sort of sunglasses where I can watch movies outside...
Hopefully this cardio theater lives up to my expectations. At least they are playing a movie I like today: Armageddon. Nothing keeps you running like the fear that the world is going to end.
