The woman at the Gym

At the gym the other day I experienced a good chuckle, that had nothing to do with my gym skills. It was a typical Sunday morning, (well sort of, I normally spend my Sunday mornings at work, beside the point, carrying on), I began on the treadmill, like I do. Just minding my own business, running, messing with the pod, and I looked up to the front row of treadmills, to see a woman I recognized. We're not friends or anything she's just been around the gym circuit. She had gotten off the treadmill she was running on, I thought maybe she was going to get a drink, because she had left the treadmill on. However, she began pacing, did she just get off the treadmill to pace? Yes, yes she did. She got back on and began Miley style, hands up. She was dancing, shaking her booty, and her hands were flailing around in the air. Wow!! That woman is dancing right there in the front row of the treadmills.

She eventually began to run again. So I didn't notice her, until she repeated the same drill, off the treadmill to pace, while the treadmill forges on full speed ahead. I was laughing out loud, sadly I knew no one in close proximity to share this moment with. It was gold, people, gold...!!!
I of course at this had no choice but to continue watching her, I figured I have forty minutes on this treadmill what else am I doing? The woman had a wedgie, was she afraid to pick it? No she was not. It was a deep dig, it was up there. It took her not once, or twice, or three times, NO 4 times!!!!! 4 deep digs to get this wedgie out of her ass. She got it though. She was persistent. I personally wanted to yell some encouragement to her. Come on lady dig deeper. You can get it!!! After each failed attempt I was so sad, but she kept trying. What an inspiration to wedgie sufferers everywhere, who feel as if they can't pick them out, she did it!!So can you.

A few points I'd like to reiterate: The woman got off the treadmill to PACE..... she left the treadmill running full speed, and GOT OFF the treadmill to pace. .. . ? WHAT????? I had to say this again.

Also, once I got off my treadmill to get a closer look, (and to pace) I was so ecstatic to discover this woman wore no headphones, she was dancing to the beat in her head. People, she was shaking what her mama gave her like she was in a club, and yet she wore no headphones. HELLO!!! I'm still laughing about this.

She got off the treadmill to pace. Do you get how ridiculous this is? Anyone?

Wait I have a wedgie.. Almost got it,, ,, ,,. .. Almost. Okay. Oh no it's back. Now, okay. I'm good.
