Thoughts, Ideas, and quick stabs

Chapter 2 - Snot Rag

Ok, I know a lot of you are probably questioning the name, but as you read this you’l start to understand. At one point I could have very easily named her "Bob’s wife". She comes in the gym, go straight to the cardio equipement, sprays down the entire machine with cleaner and wipes it with sanitizing wipes that she carries in her bag. From this point, she takes out about 10 towels from her bag, and lays them all over the machine, covering every inch.

Ok, from this point it’s workout time. She starts going (usually on the eliptical machine), about 90 miles an hour, and keeps it up for 2 1/2 hours. Not kidding, 2 1/2 hours at least 5 days a week. The sad thing is, in the 5 years I’ve been at the gym she hasn’t changed one bit. Doesn’t look like she’s lost even one pound.

Now, what’s up with the name you ask? Well, remember those towels. She uses them, not for her flooding of sweat, but to blow her nose on them. And blow she does, so loud you can hear her across the gym. Never fails, everyday. And not just once, it is about every 10 minutes or so.

What the hell would posess a person to spend that much time on a machine in which you never get anywhere? When asked by other members of the gym, I tell them my philosophy is that she must have been some 250 lb person, and is bound and determined to never get fat again. Now I can apprechiate a person dedicated to fitness, but you would think a little variety would work. (thus thinking that maybe she is afterall Bob’s wife)
