two days in a row?!
and all of this...well lets face it, i was workin it. but. the clencher??
fishnet stalkings people. fish. net. me = en fuego.
and then what happens? he's already at the damn gym when i get there, so he only sees me in my gym-attire, and..... come to find out, he's got a girlfriend.
(how do i know this? i can be very resourceful when i need to be. don't even worry about it)
so, i'm down for the count, right?
WRONG!!!
blah blah blah, work. get bored. eat a piece of chocolate cake.
so i get home and decide maybe another few miles on the tread would be a good decision (ran a few at the gym... 2.05 to be exact. knee kinda throbbed a bit after, but i got home and was fine, so.... why not take it out for a spin?!)
and WHAT a phenomenal decision that was, because who do i see when i walk down to the basement and enter our somewhat ghetto gym type area??
hottie boy from a few weekends ago that lives in my building and i drool over.
on a regular basis.
ad nauseum.
yesssssss... talk about a damn great motivator to get my butt down there EVERY NIGHT!!!
eye contact. yup. head nod. def'ly... keep it cool. you are here to run. not pick up dudes. (yeah right.) so, i mount the tread, start'er up and....EFFING OUCH!!! dammit. my left foot. somethings jacked with the tongue of my shoe.dammit. dammit. can't run like this..sharp, searing pain......... so i stop the tread. try and fix. ok. we're good. no big deal that this room is the size of my closet and he's directly in front of me. FACING me. no. big. deal. just.... run.
so. start'er up again......&%*^! YOW! omg. this never happens to me. i am like the queen of tying my shoe. what is going on with the tongue of this thing. i am friggin cursed. be smooth. HA. i look like a friggin gimp. thank god i didnt wear my "MARATHON" shirt. i'd look like a damn fool. ok. lets try this again....
as always...third time's a charm. so i'm running...running... and normally, i look directly straight ahead. theres a big coke machine in the other room and i focus on it. where does Hottie Boy happen to be?! in the WAY! stop looking at him. look at the floor....no dammit thats lame. look at the floor? who looks at the floor when they run. head up.... wow he's really cute ok NO. stop. just... watch tv...... so i'm running, WAY faster than normal because.... there's a boy in the room, and we know what THAT does to my running but finally i catch a break and he goes in the other room to lift.
thank GOD i was about to have a heart attack... so.... speed on tread gets turned wayyyy down (to my normal "is that actually considered running?" pace..) and i find my groove and we're good.
Hottie Boy finishes up, we talk, i ooze flirty-breezey-"ain't no thang i'm just running"-ness, and he leaves.
i wipe away the drool, walk out my last few minutes (b/c now my knee hurts but i dont care... so worth it) and call it a night.
yeahhhh.... i know. i'm ridiculous right? but admit it...its just so FUN!!

I met my former boyfriend and my former boss (when I was unemployed) at the gym. It's actually a great place to meet people -- I guess cause no one's actually there to meet people!

Y'know, there was a time in my life when I thought that girls had it all together, and it was just us guys that were willing to make ourselves look like fools to get the attention of the opposite sex. I've learned over the past few years that this just isn't true.Your little flirting narratives are cracking me up, though. Don't worry, I'm sure either gym guy or building guy are looking at you.

Quite humorous. [And trust me, guys are no different.]So ... if we really knew what others were thinking ... what was going through other people's minds ... would we even be able to function?

hilarious. I know you threw in a sassy shrug and innocent eye bat to accompany that "ain't no thang i'm just running" attitude. Is it time to obsess over your workout attire?(sorry, left out a letter!)
