I'm a magnet...


for odd people at the gym!

Tonight's encounter was the complete opposite of Mr. Muscles. This girl, well, I'm still trying to process her. The gym on campus gets busy at certain times - those times when classes are just letting out, lunch, etc. My typical Tuesday time is around 3 after my last class. It's always busy and chances are you'll be waiting for a treadmill.


I lucked out today and didn't have to wait. So there I am running my heart out, sweating like a man, and I notice this girl throw her stuff down on the treadmill next to me. She proceeds to place her notes for class up on the ledge along with her phone, and then jumped up there herself. Okay, point one - she's wearing jeans. I'm thinking to myself, "what kinda work out is she going to do in jeans!!"


And she's off...sort of. She increases her speed to 2.0. 2.0 Now I'm not saying that's bad, because I realize that for some people that's all they can do, so I'm not trying to be offensive, but really she was barely moving. Please keep in mind that there are people waiting to use the machines!!! I was stunned. How can people be that oblivious.


I deduced that she was there because there was a guy working out that she was staring at, but it wasn't reciprocated. I feel like someone should tell her that if he had noticed her, he would have been wondering what that girl was doing on the treadmill in jeans.


I'm really glad that I wasn't one of the people waiting, because I might have had to step in and ask her nicely to get off.


Not real.

There is a woman who wears jeans at my gym too! And all I can think is "doesn't that chafe?" ewwww.

He's Just Not That Into You is okay. Parts of it can be a bit depressing, but some parts are good. So, know that going into it! I think Confessions looks like a little happier and more fun movie.

Thanks for stopping by my page. It made me smile. I did not get the tickets yet. I have to wait until Sat. I was so sad. I like your blog page. I hope you get to go also. Have a great day. Thanks again for stopping by.

Oh the jeans thing at the gym is crazy. How about when you go to the pool and there is someone wearing jean shorts and a t-shirt. I have even seen this at water parks. It is totally okay to wear shorts but not jean shorts. Isn't that heavy and feels weird. I do not like it when my jeans get wet period.

That's why I never went to our on-campus gym... I even joined a women's weight training class to try and conquer the awkward that is me in the gym, but no. Seriously though, jeans on a treadmill??? Just the thought makes me uncomfortable!

Just stopping in to say hello and thanks for coming by my blog! :)

It aggravates me when people at our gym do that & will barely move when they're working out. Especially when people are waiting!
I made it through my class last night. Thanks for the well wishes! Zumba was the class after ours & I stayed to watch it for a few minutes. It looked fun!
