Playing Weight

Seperating the Wheat From the Chaff

One day later the gym was quite thinned out.  I was the only one on the track for most of my run.  No struggle for space in the locker room and only two other people lifting weights with me in that area.  Was that really it?  One day after the new year and people decide that enough.  The crowds I could do without, but if it means more people are getting into shape I’ll endure it.

I was glad for the extra room, but kinda disappointed that people seemed to be giving up that easily.

Make Way for the Fat Man

Filed under: Blog Postings — Doug Enfield @ 4:24 pm

Way too many people at the gym today.  First Monday of the New Year and everybody is determined to lose the ten pounds they gained during the holidays.  At least they’re concerned about it right now.  It will be interesting to see the state of the gym as the month goes on.  There are 6-8 people I see at the gym all the time, every day.  We kinda gave eachother disapproving looks as we fought for space in the locker room.

I jumped on the indoor track at the gym to do my 3 miles.  Most of the time I’m only one on the track, but it’s not unusual to have 2-3 other people walking and running at the same time.  There were a dozen+ people today.  One guy saw me run past him and didn’t seem to like a round individual such as myself to be showing him up.  He hung for exactly one lap (a tenth of a mile, I do 30 laps for 3 miles). 

Make way for the fat man.
