You could see which stations the train would stop at, and how long it was [...]
This is more for my own reference when I don’t feel like going, or don’t make time for it, but you may find it helpful if - like me - you find it hard to motivate yourself to take that perilous journey towards the automatic doors at the gym.
Feel better for a couple of hours, [...]
