Stuck

I got up later than planned, but was ready to go on-time to meet Sam for a hill repeat indoor treadmill run followed by weights session. However, the garage had other plans for me.

I hit the button and the door only raised a foot. Tried it a few times with the same result. I called Matt into the garage for assistance. He discovered that a something was broken, so the door wouldn't raise automatically. We tried the manual release. No good. Apparently, a spring is broken.

So, I changed into some bike clothes, did an indoor trainer ride and am now sitting in my pajamas while the repairman works on the door. From the sounds of it, we are about to be unstuck. Hallelujah!

The least it could have done was get you a whole day off, right? Houses and their parts are always so nice with their little surprises.

sometimes little things like this are nice ... little reminders that we need to sit around in our jammies once in a while to smell the roses :)

I got bad lucked out of a workout today.
What are ya gonna do?
You could have stood outside of your garage and yelled "Hey KoolAid!".
After the walking pitcher busted down the garage door you could have driven away.
Just a thought.

Good thing you didn't get stuck not doing a workout. It's nice to have backup workouts.
Hopefully, the repair didn't cost you an arm and a leg.
