When I'm walking on the treadmill, I get crazy annoyed at interruptions - to the point that I won't even try it if I'm not alone in the house.

I haven't been using it regularly in a long time, but I've lost the 20 pounds and if I want to keep the promise I made to myself, I should start this weekend. But I won't because if DH talks to me while I'm on it, I will get so irritated at him!

I think it's mainly because while I tread, I usually watch a DVD or listen to a book (I find the scary ones the best - get that adrenaline pumping). And in addition to having to stop the media, I have to stop the treadmill because I just can't hear or focus on what's being said unless I do.

I know that being interrupted while doing anything can irritate even the most saintly of people, but I really think my annoyance at workout interruptions are out of proportion.

Anyone else experience this?
