Music (and a cutey-patooty) mek yu dweet long

Decided to forego Dr Mansingh's lecture on Injuries in Cricket this evening to go to the gym.

I normally go to the gym in the day, either mid morning or mid afternoon. So going tonight meant different faces.....the faces of the employed! The first face I saw was of an older gentleman, who when I walked in one night stopped me and said "oh my gosh, what a pretty face, can I work out with you". I don't know what he had been smoking bout him "pretty face". Well saw him again tonight when I was signing in. He was leaving but said as soon as I came in, that suddenly he has found energy again.

The fella followed me into the cardio room, watched me jump on the Eliptical Runner and asked if I wasn't going on the treadmill so he could go on the one beside me. No, I don't do treadmills. And I figure he CAN'T do Eliptical Runners. I continue with my warm up, telling him that I really prefer to work out by myself. Hint, hint. He left me saying "I'm not gone, I'm outside".

After leg work in the weights room, well I didn't use any weights or machines tonight, did some other type of leg work, I went back on the Eliptical Runner to end the gym session. I decided to do 20 minutes or burn 200 calories, whichever came first. Just as I had reached the mark (coincidentally both came at the same time), Zip Fm started to play some Quad-like music. You should hear me singing away.

In walks a nice looking dude and starts to bounce to my singing. He goes to talk to his friend (Dr D and MB would say "bredren" - that must be a George's ting!) and then comes over to my machine and looks at my digits. Then he says "Oh, I thought you were singing from words off the screen" or something to that effect.

Chit chat for a bit and then he leaves. Well, 20 minutes long gone. I ended up doing 30 and burning 300-mash calories.

I'll have to arrange for him to come by next time. Give me motivation to stay pon it long.

Doesn't everybody use the term "Bredren"... Its prolly a "man" thing, as opposed to a Georges thing. Why, even the Neanderthals from K.C. have been heard to use the word, check "Dave" if you don't believe me. :)
Sounds like you're turning the guys at the Gym on bigtime, Mich. BTW, what in tarnation is an Eliptical Runner?

it's a machine that simulates running but there is no impact, so when you depress the things that your feet rest on, they glide through the air so there is no effect on your knee. a very groovy machine.

re de bredren ting. it's just that i heard somebody else with it last weekend, and he too went to georges. yes i've also heard the fellow about whom you speak with that too. yeah, maybe it's a guy ting.

I didn't have 'tan pon it long' in the title. You reading things that not there. Might I suggest a check up with Dr Leo Rhynie to check your eye sight.

Ok, i see it was in the body. Where is your mind ?????? (probably the same place mine is )

that is my music. that's what I grew up listening to and have great memories of those years.
