Treadmill Karaoke...is this ever a good idea?

I arrived at the gym this morning all geared up for my boring 5 mile treadmill run. To my horror, I discovered that I left Mini’s frictionless case and headphones at home! I dutifully placed Mini in his Bose docking station last night, pulled him out this morning and forgot to take his accessories. Arrgghh. My idea of hell is running on a treadmill, staring at my sweaty self in the mirrors with NO tunes.

Ok, so I had to do the run, so I gave myself a little pep talk and was determined to make it through the 5 miles. My friend told me that when he runs he visualizes people, places, things etc, so I thought I would give it a go. I got a half mile into the run and so far, so good…and then it happens. The dude next to me starts singing “I ain’t missing you” at the top of his lungs – OMIGOD. 2.5 miles later and several dirty looks/glances in his direction, I decided to make my move to the other row of treadmills, so I could finish my run in peace. If you feel like singing, please use your inside voice .
