Who let stinky into the hamster party?

This morning I went to the gym. I usually hate running on a treadmill but I felt pretty good today. Perhaps it was the novelty of it again or my music was helping pass the time. Unfortunately, 25 minutes into my run, a very stinky man started on the treadmill right next to me. Nevermind that there were several empty ones all along the row. Why did he have to set-up camp right next to me? This was going to suck but I said to myself, “I only have 5 more minutes. I’ll just power through and breathe through my mouth.” Well, I just have to say that it was disgusting…so bad that everyone around him started to get off their treadmills and move to another machine. With just one minute into it, I had to move too. It almost made me nauseous. It’s one thing to have to run on a hamster wheel for 30 minutes but to endure the stinkiness from the fat hamster next to me was just too much for me today. I actually pushed “STOP” on my treadmill and moved 10 treadmills over to finish my run. I ended up going an extra 10 minutes just because I was so annoyed.
