I don't know if I already told you this but...

I haven’t posted a single thing about my workouts lately. Could that possibly mean I am bored with them? Yes. That’s exactly what that means. I did actually show some improvement in the last couple of weeks though. I’ve been running 2 miles for forever and I managed to force myself to run 2.5 miles the last three times. Are you so impressed? If I can bump it up to 3 miles I may actually feel like a runner again. Well. I’d have to be going faster than a walking pace to be a runner. It’s sad when you stop jogging to walk but you’re going the exact same speed. I think I’ll try for the 3 miles and then work on my speed.

The weights are going fine. I have super big muscles under thick layers of fat. I am one. big. girl. I have been able to raise my tricep press from 65 pounds to 75 pounds. Cool. I have also moved on from the toothpick squats to using a real 45 pound bar. Next week I may even try putting weight on it. Now I’m getting crazy!

I’m so annoyed with the annoying people at the gym. I always sign up for a machine, go do my weights and then come back and do cardio. Almost every single day, someone gets on my machine 5 minutes before I’m going to use it. I’m not nice enough to use a different machine or wait until they’re done. There is a system here people. Please us it! I almost had to take it outside one night with a woman who refused to get off. I waited five minutes (you only get 30 and someone was signed up after me) before I told her I had reserved the machine and she still would not get off! I might have had to pull her hair out but her husband showed up on the scene and she moved her little fanny with the attitude before I had to do it for her.

I ran into someone from Church tonight. He and his wife just joined the gym in January but I don’t see him very often. We had a little conversation and then as I walked away I wondered if I had told him the exact same story that I told him the last time I talked to him. In fact, I have spoken to him about a total of 4 times and now I’m wondering if he has heard this story 4 times. I’m almost positive that he has. Luckily, I probably won’t see him for another month and by that time I’ll forget this whole thing and he’ll get to hear my story for the fifth time. Yay for him!
