An open letter...

To the two women on the treadmill next to me at the gym today....

I understand that going to the gym, may mean, for you, that you're going out. You do your hair, put on your big hoop earrings, carefully pick out your matching tracksuit (probably in pink), and then take a bath with perfume. You get to the gym, put your bottle of soda in the cup holder, and set the treadmill on its lowest possible setting. About 30 seconds goes by and you start texting and talking on your phone. Loudly.

This continues for about a half hour. I know that Planet Fitness is supposed to be "a judgement free zone", but I can't help but judge. Why get all dressed up to go get all sweaty? And, your copious amounts of perfume, while you may think it will attract men, is extremely distracting when I'm trying to concentrate on training. I know that should be more tolerant and not let these things get to me, but it just frustrated me, and since I will, on occassion use this blog as an outlet, I'm free to rant/complain. It's just obnoxious. There are many guys guilty of this too, getting all prettied up for the gym...seriously, wtf?

Oh, and the reason the tv has no sound? You need to plug your headphones in....
