About Time

The idea of time consumes my thoughts.

I recently started working out at Orange Theory Fitness. It’s a gym that specializes in interval training. Each class has a treadmill, row, and free weights section. It fascinates me how 30 seconds on the treadmill at a sprint can seem like an eternity.

Yet before class, I look at the time, and I’ve got 15 minutes until I need to be in the car.

I get my sneakers.

I put them on.

I tie them.

And, suddenly 20 minutes have gone by, and I am five minutes late.

Aaaaaahhhhhhh!

How does that happen?
