Musings at the Gym

I was running on tired legs today, so I struggled to get in only a few miles. In addition to running my first double digit run in over 2 months, I spent most of the day on Sunday working in the yard. This means I have tight hamstrings and sore quads in addition to cuts, scrapes, and foreign objects lodged in my fingers (I think it is a rose bush thorn and I'll likely never get it out).

So, as I made every effort to distract myself on the treadmill, I had a couple of observations

• When is it OK to tell a stranger that her pants are completely see through? Because in this instance, I could see the color of her underwear (thank goodness she was wearing some!) AND the color of her skin through her worn pants. I neglected to say anything, but I think I probably should have.
• Always run on the treadmills in the back row. I noticed the bouncing fat of the gym-goers on the treadmills in front of me. I never want anyone to notice my bouncing fat.
• What's with the 1 gallon water jugs? I've never seen this before, but since I started frequenting a new gym, all of the guys carry one. Is it part of the training routine? A gallon weighs just over 8 pounds, so maybe.
• I will be 35 this year and really don't want to ever get old, because then I will have to do things like this:
