Adventures of an Ambivalent Gym Queen, Dispatch #091908

Gym Queen's Log, Workout Date 091908: I may very well have stumbled upon a modern-day El Dorado. Went in at about 8:00-ish, and the place was, shall we say, "not crowded." The benefits of said vacancy were immediately felt; I had my choice of EMs to choose from, making me quite the eligible member among the machines. The easy access continued downstairs (let's keep it Christian, folks!) with the circuit machines and made for quite the great workout. No waiting, no overcrowding--just good times. Ah, if only it could always be so empty...they'd be out of business.

So jazzed was I about the absence of members that I stepped onto the basketball court to shoot some hoops. Those who know me...well...know I'm not big on contact sports. (Insert joke about me being single here.) My attitude is if you hit me, we're not playing--and all I'm thinking about is a way to keep the police from tracing your murder back to me.

But I digress: I made my first shot and felt like (insert basketball star here) for a few minutes, then struggled at the three-point line for what felt like an eternity. The struggle would've continued, but some guys came in, and since I wasn't interested in playing well--or at all--with others, I left.

Friday's definitely going to have to be a staple of my workout routine, though.
