I Did Go Yesterday

Yes, yesterday I went to the gym. A very uneventful 30 minutes on the treadmill.

But after, I felt really of wimpy. I do not, nor ever had, much upper body strength. I can swim, yes, but that is more back. Chin-ups, pull-ups, never gonna happen. So it's something I am half-hearted working on. At the gym, we have an assisted pull up machine. My friend Steph showed me how to use it - which wasn't hard, but I don't like just trying out machines. Anyway, I use a very VERY low setting (i.e. pleanty of assistance) and still have a really hard time.

When I finished my embarrassing 2 sets, this guy I have talked to before says
"Didn't you just do an Ironman?"
Me - "Yes"
Him - "And that's all you can do for pull ups???" - smirk, laugh...
Me - blank stare
Him (embarrassed) "Oh, I'm just kidding"
Me - evil glare
Him - "Um, yeah, I could never even run 5 miles, or swim, or bike 10 miles so..."
Me - "Right", sort of laughed it off and walked away.

Really, some people...

And on that note, I didn't know the gym closed at 4 so my plan to go after work before the hockey game didn't pan out to well. Soon, soon it will become important again.
