RE: Soooo...I go to this new gym.....

OMG Dan! Much too funny - but what an ego booster first thing in the

morning. I would recommend taking a treadmill at the end so that they can

only get on one side of you!

Bask in it!

Umm, ... So, where, exactly, is this new gym? --Steve

This one is in Conyers on Commerce Drive; off of Road...for me, just

about the same mileage as the old gym. I have to go someplace with little

or no traffic to sit in...or I lose the impulse.

Haven't been to the gym lately, but this morning in our local paper was an

article about a prominent local pathologist who was found DEAD in the hot

tub at the gym yesterday, apparently a drowning. YIKES!!!! This was at about

12:30 in the afternoon. I guess it wasn't too crowded or somebody would have

seen him/helped him/found him sooner. They think he had some sort of a

hypoglycemic episode and drown. Makes me think twice about getting in the

hot tub solo.

Understandably...I would think twice about getting in THAT hot tub!! There

are a number of incidents that have taken place at my old gym....guys that

make their new years resolution to start handball seem to wind up assuming

room temperature much too often. One doc told me that the majority of

cardio type emergencies usually accompany sport clothing....NEW sport

clothing.<G>

Whenever I lay off for a couple of weeks, I don't go back in full throttle.

Number one...pain is discouraging and not being able to achieve where you

last left off is not a good way to " start again " at anything. So, I just go

back and move forward over a couple of weeks if I'm gone for a couple of

weeks. There's not a contest involved...so if I'm not putting in 2 miles at

a time or lifting more than 90 pounds...big whoop; there are good days and

bad days. I've had bad days in the middle of a six month stretch where I

couldn't lift my own carcass out of the leg extensions seat...and good days

where everything was just right to add on reps or weight without even

thinking twice about it. Just getting started again is the big hang up; I

took last week off with my bellybutton issue...getting up early this morning

was a chore, but afterwards....I'm ready to go back this afternoon.

My brother in law had it right when he allowed: " there's nothing worse than

a convert. " He's right...I enjoy going to work out and come back to a

ProScore100 chocolate shake with two scoops of whey powder and a pint of Ben

& jerry's Double Chocolate to mix it with. Breakfast of champions!
