Thoughts While at the Gym
|
Thoughts While at the Gym As a runner, I absolutely hate running outside when it is below freezing. Due to the recent surge in frigid temps, I've been forced to take my runs indoors on the treadmill at the gym with today being no exception. There are times that even a proficient runner like myself totally succumbs to being at the mercy of random thoughts that pop into my head while trying to disassociate from the drudgery of a 7 mile treadmill run. A bit of a disclaimer: these are simply THOUGHTS I had while running today. I have absolutely no intent or desire to follow through on some of these but thought you would find them amusing. 1. "Don't make eye contact with that hot guy, he may think you want to fuck him." 2. "Fuck, here we go (starting my run) only 55 minutes left" Sigh. 3. Don't think about how far you have to run. Focus on watching HGTV. 4. "Holy shit, I would love to have those property brothers tag team me! They are so hot." (as I increase my running pace) 5. "Get your mind out of the gutter and focus on your run." (as I count my footsteps in military cadence to distract me) 6. "Are you fucking serious?" * Inwardly glaring at the out of shape guy* that got on the treadmill right next to me in spite of the entire empty row of treadmills he could pick from. 7. "Don't stress out about him, he probably won't last long." Sure enough, he quits after about a minute. Ahh...back to mentally undressing the property brothers on HGTV. 8. "Okay, is it just me or is that creepy old guy who keeps circling the perimeter of the track next to me checking me out?" Ewww. 9. *Mopping up the sweat dripping off of me* "Yuck, this is gross. How could any guy be even remotely interested in this sweat hog." 10. "Only 15 minutes left, Yay!" 11. Uh Oh, crap, my shorts are feeling a bit loose like they could fall down. "Mentally praying, please don't let my shorts fall down." 12. Silently pretending I am a rock star while pretending to sing along with Katy Perry on my IPOD. 13. Pulling up my shorts, fuck, please let this be over. ( 1 mile left.) 14. Getting mad at my IPOD and flinging it off because the ear buds keep slipping out of my sweaty ears causing me too much distraction. (yes, I am still running btw, I can multitask like a SOB when I am running!) 15. While<b> sweating </font></b>profusely and running like hell, the hot guy walks by and says, "you're killing it!" *Thinking, Oh god, I wonder what fucking him would be like* 16. Kicking the last 2 minutes of my run into overdrive and reaching my goal of 7 miles in 55 minutes and 23 seconds. "Wow, I'm a fucking rockstar!" I'm curious, what do you think about to distract yourself when you are at the gym? |

Workout at home and with kettlebells, so usually only have music on or watch ATR/RUK. Learned it's best not to workout with babe channels on; especially true late at night !

Nice pace you have there for an hour run. Unfortunately, my running days are over, due to too many ruck marches for too many years. Now it's all about swimming and bicycling. As for distractions, it's always been my jam session, MUST HAVE MUSIC. As for other distractions, it usually started with the open door to the aerobics area.

On the treadmill, I'm constant thinking of work. On the fitness floor, I concentrate on me and the weights. I dont see the muscleheads staring while I lift. "To Be Consumed" Blog : I want to be your drug of painful withdrawals.

I blew out a knee wrestling in high school... no treadmills or road work for me... but I enjoy riding my bicycle... 18 miles in about 90 minutes... lots of ups and downs and a crosswind all along the way... I try not to think, I just try to enjoy the sun and fresh air

18 different things! WOW congrats. It seems that almost only I think – holy shit she has a fine ass. I'm definitely more of a boob man, but the asses are more on display.

In my 44 years, never been to gym. But distractions (self-made and otherwise) I can relate to. What is a "property brother"? Sociologically, I wonder why that guy set-up right next to you. I saw another blog somewhere about that same phenomenon. Rows of machines, but they come to the one directly across from (or in front of or whatever) you. That's kinda weird to me. FWIW, when I am in a situation that I am simply counting the time? I think of building clocks - lame, huh?

myelin36 replies on 11/14/2014 11:10 am: Building clocks?! And I thought my thoughts were weird! LOL! I'll not deny being weird. But without clocks... we wouldn't know time. We would simply endure it... like the animals in the wild. And then you could run forever... and never know it. Know why there are 24 hours in a day (really two sets of 12) instead of say... 10, 25, or 50 or 100 or some other, easily divisible/manageable number?

Huh......so THIS is what the inside of a gym looks like.  Hmmm....mostly I watch Big Bang Theory while on the treadmill. I only do 21-25 minutes of walk-run (1 min walk, 1 min run). During the commercials I just let my mind drift, or wander to the other TV's. When in the gym part doing weights and such, I just think about what I'm doing for the most part. But I do get distracted by my gym gf. That's the woman that I would love to date, but don't want to talk to because I don't want to be "that guy" that tries to talk to a woman that just wants to work out. Plus I think she's married. At least living with a guy.
