Burning nose-Part 2

So I worked out at the gym yesterday. Did the elliptical for about 16mins for about 2.42miles then moved to the tread for 15mins for about 1.62miles. Ended w/ some upper body strength training. The nose burned before I started & after I was done. But at least I didn't have to carry any Kleenex w/ me! Still burning this morning(I know exciting stuff here!..I won't be offended if you would rather read about ANYTHING else other than this). I think my body is trying to get sick on me & I am NOT havin' it!(as if I can control that..lol)

But I have to put this question out there to anyone reading..Does anyone who goes to the gym & have to wait for a machine & will get dirty looks from the person using it? This has happened to me a few times w/ a personal trainer who is w/ someone on the machine that I want to use. I wait patiently giving plenty of personal space so they don't feel like I am breathing down their necks but I still get the evil eye from the trainer & sarcastic,joking(but not really) comment that "Are you waiting?". Well of course I am just standing here in front of the machine,staring you down,silently counting your reps til you're done. I am always polite & say that I am but to take their time(of course that DOES NOT mean you should be taking 2-3min rests between each set..I mean if you need that much time then MAYBE the weight is too heavy?..hmm?). Then the trainer usually says,"You can go to another machine & then come back when we're done." To which I say,"That I have a particular order in which I use these machines". Besides I know that if I leave someone else might take my spot. I HATE it when this happens! I am not going huff & puff beside you or even worse ask very rudely when you are going to be done but I am going to wait & NO I will not move to another machine! What I really like to say is "I am waiting..Get over it & do your reps". But I try to bite my tongue because I know that does not solve anything.

Anywhooose sorry for the long rant but just had to get that out. On tap for today is a 2+miler around my hood followed w/ some lower body strength training. I'm out!
