Way O.T. Spiders interrupting workout.

Just thought I'd share:

So I'm doing Step Blast for the first time in a long while and I notice this spider crawling across the ceiling (I exercise in the basement). After debating whether I could ignore it rather than lose my heart rate, I decided I really couldn't. Fortunately I was still in section one, or I would have been really messed up. Anyway, I tracked the spider until the end of the section and pushed the pause button. But even though the ceiling is low, I couldn't reach it without dragging my step over, and I didn't want to take that much time. So I attached a tissue to the end of a plastic sword that I'd kicked out of the way during the warm-up--plastic swords and lightsabers are an ever-present item all through my house. I speared the spider with my makeshift weapon and it dropped to the floor wounded but not dead. I quickly dispatched him, threw away the tissue, and went back to my workout. But I had to throw in a couple sets of power 15's to get my heart rate back. I was able to finish the program without further incident. However, when I went to the bathroom after my workout, there was another spider furiously paddling in the toilet bowl. Well . . . he got a whirlee.

Hope this brightens your day.:+

LOL. I went on vacation for literally a week and when I returned there were spiders on my weights, under my bench step, etc. Every time I picked up a weight, etc. there were spiders and spider webs.

You would think I was gone for months on end, lol.
 
Icky - I'm not a spider fan. I got bit all around my knee about 6 months ago and parts of my kneecap are SITLL numb! And I have a scar too. So I would have had to do the same thing. :)

I HAD to smile at the description of your incident. I work out in the basement too, and I'm always having to step on spiders before they scurry out of sight or it will drive me crazy. I also have to kick lightsabers, swords, and clothes out of the way before my workouts! The basement belongs to the kids when I'm not doing Cathe! Glad I'm not alone in the spider wars!:)
 
EEWWWW. I can handle most critters but I am such a girl when it comes to spiders. I get freaked out when I see them. I can handle lizards, snakes, rodents, etc...but NOT spiders!!! }(
