Went to the gym in my lunch break, sneakers and The New Yorker in hand, ready to punish myself.
Sign on the door said: Gym closed until 2 pm.
Typical.

Could be worse. You could be like me last year when, after pulling in and out of the parking lot on two different days because the gym seemed to be closed early for some reason, finally got out of the car and read the sign on the door that said it was closed for good.
I think the universe conspires sometimes to force us to get our exercise in ways other than the gym. However, most of us just stare depressed at the "closed" sign and shrug it off.
That said, I do think the gods have a sense of humor and are not above being little dickheads every now and then.
Or maybe the Universe thinks you should take it easy today?
oh wow.
i hate when that happens.
just lace em up and run the pavement.
there's too much potential there to let go.
