Musings of a Crazed Gym Rat!

If you’ve ever seen me at my gym and I’ve completely ignored you, I apologize. There are several reasons for this, the first being that I am probably so zoned out and focused on what I’m doing I am unaware of my surroundings, another is that I am short sighted and I don’t wear my glasses to the gym, and the final reason…I’m ignoring you.

So to rectify the vision issue I’ve been trying to make a change. Instead of staggering around blindly in the gym and not being able to acknowledge people I know or would like to know or read stuff from far away I’ve decided to give contacts a try. This is a game of trial and error until you get the right ones. So far I’m on my second set.  I also think that I’m allergic to my gym, seriously! My left eye waters almost constantly when I’m there (with or without contacts) and I have the sniffles the whole time.  What is it? Dust? perspiration, cleaning chemicals in the air, the stinky guy next to me on the cardio machine (that’ll make anyone’s eyes water)? Who knows, it happens every time I’m there.

As far as changing my training focus…nuh, uh…not gonna happen, I’m zoned out, grooving to some tunes, layin’ down my thang at da gym. Am I ignoring you? Very likely not on purpose,unless I’m thinking your build is better than mine (you have to be a girl for that one) and then I’m definitely not going let you catch me checking you out for a compare. Just know that I plan to make you look bad when I finish my bulk and cut, then you’ll be sayin’ DANG! Mostly though, and to be truthful, I’m jealous of you now and want to meet you so that I can hit you up for some training tips. The gym is a  solitary place for me, I’d love to get to know lots of people there.

So I’m not really ignoring anyone, I’m not the cold stuck up b*%ch at the gym, I’m blind, weepy eyed, hell bent on training and we haven’t met yet. Speak up and come closer so I can see you.
