up in the gym working on my fitness
So I joined the gym, panicking a little that I have signed up for a half marathon in 8 and a half weeks. During my induction I realised I have gotten pretty unfit - going for a run every 3 weeks doesn't a fit person make. I had this sadistic Polish guy making me work really hard on teh rowing machine - I wanted to cry. I couldnt barely type when I returned to work. And then I had a basement session and had to lift so many heavy periodicals....boo!
I'm really concerned about the detrimental effect going to the gym may have on my personality. I'll get too obsessed and all I'll talk about to people is the gym. The most annoying thing after people giving you a detailed description of their dream is a detailed description of how they beat their personal best or whatever. Anyway I'm enjoying it so far, remembering I like to push myself physically, and how pleasurable the feeling of walking out in the fresh air after a tough work out it. Its really busy in there though, unlike the gym I used to go to at Goldsmiths (art students don't work out. They smoke roll ups instead of eating). So having a shower is really difficult because I just keep getting an erection - there are hot naked wet people everywhere. So I have to face the wall and try to think unsexy things. I had to put the shower on really cold and think about my old lady boss today so that I could get out and dry off without anyone calling pervert on me. It was good having a really lonng shower though. The hot water runs out so quickly at home, but the ones at the gym are really hot and the water is so powerful. Listen to me! I'm getting all sexy again!
