it's not just an incline. IT'S A MOUNTAIN. It's a 2km walk from my house to the top, and i powerwalk as fast as i can, when it's not raining. so it takes 20 minutes. You want a picture of how steep it is, cause you don't believe me, I'll send you one. And yes I do need an umbrella. The rain will ruin my hair because it's polluted. it's not just rain, it's a MONSOON. Landslides and tree damage. Not something I can do while sprinting or on a bike. and i don't have a waterproof backpack, and no i can't borrow one or buy one. I use my umbrella because that's what I can afford to do. my first job is a professional one, I have to wear business attire. Heels, dress pants, and carry a purse. I wear flip flops to go back down the hill and put my shoes on when i get to the subway because if i attempt to go down the hill in heels i'll break my ankles or roll on my face. I can't get all my clothes, the change of clothes in my bag as well as my other work uniform, my books for work, food, and laptop all soaking wet. in THIS particular situation, It doesn't save time or help me at all. i already explained that I can't run up that hill, not with all of my stuff, and not during a downpour, and i'm just not fit enough to handle it even without my stuff. And carrying all of that on my shoulders (that are already messed up from an old soccer injury and arthritis and too much stress) hurts enough just lugging everything on the subway. I can't arrive at the gym earlier than it opens, so it doesn't make any difference. I still have a set amount of time to workout between arriving at the gym at the time the gym opens and before i have to leave and make it to the subway at the exact time which would allow me to commute to work on time. So thank you for your suggestion, but it doesn't work for me. I don't understand why you are so offended that I'm not like "YES THAT'S BRILLIANT I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT" or kissing your feet for such a "clever idea". If I could run it, I would. I'm not stupid. I know my body and what it's capable of. I'm surprised that people in this forum aren't also agreeing with that.
Your idea would be good for someone else, i'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm just explaining why it doesn't work for me. If I say an idea doesn't work for me, it doesn't work for me. you can't push it on me and then insult me for not being able to do it. So of course I'm mad. So no. I'm not I'm not running "up the fucking the hill", I'm WALKING. and walking as FAST as my little legs can carry me. because that's what I know I can do. So drop it, please and get over yourself.
