Amid a guy doing walking handstands (for fitness, right?), off duty PTs walking around flexing while saying hello to the gym rats and other general gym etiquette I sweated to videos on the wall including Da Rude - Sandstorm (spotted a couple of 19-20yr old Twitch nerds react when that came on) and some shit Janet Jackson song from 1998.

Main thing is it's progress, and attempting 13.6km/h next session. I set a target of clearing 14.0 by Christmas but it feels like a big leap ^^

Hope y'all are getting out there, or even grinding out some sets/reps while on the elf sim <3
I rarely do the gym 2 days in a row but with a pal wanting to go again, I went again lol...didn't plan to do 13.6 the first time out but somehow managed it, the treadmill was showing about an 8km run which is nice to see and if I could keep that pace for ~90 minutes (note, I can't and would struggle!) I'd clear a half marathon in that time... my best half marathon time is 1 hour 50 minutes almost on the dot.

So 13.8km/h next session, it's the fastest I ever cleared on a treadmill before I took a break. 14 would be a brave new world (8.7mph) and I might have to consider going up in .1's instead of .2's :/

Sidenote: No dickheads doing attention whore walking handstands across the mat area today but when you're on the end of a row of 5 treadmills and there's nobody else there...then a guy gets on the one next to you just after you start, you wonder why... like "dude, I'm gonna be sweating here" lol
