The lights on the treadmill I am running on are counting the time and flashing red. All the other lights on the machine are white.
I used to be a runner, and I used to run almost everyday but with school it gets hard to manage. After my workouts, I try to get some cardio in to stay in shape, but I’ve been finding it hard to get back into it. The time is red, and I can feel it even when I close my eyes. Those lights are dicting my mood for the rest of the day. Can I run longer than I did the day before? Everytime I look at the screen I can feel the illumination almost telling me to give up and stop. Something about red that feels so ominous. The rest of the lights are yellow or white and it feels like encouragement compared to the bold red time in the middle.
