This post had me laughing out loud and I had to read it aloud to my husband. Hysterical!

Thank you for reminding me why I don't want to work out at a health club.

Good luck with your race.

That was hilarious, although not to you at the time. Your descriptions were so vivid I realized I was holding my breath while reading this post so as not to smell these people.

And I probably could have smelled them all the way up here in SF.

Ewwww to all of them, especially Crotch Starer and Sweaty Stationary Bike Man. Rapunzel will get her hair caught in a machine one of these days, and the Free Weight Guy will have to save her. She'll be sorry.

I can't tell you how often I''ve donned running clothes and then not gone running. It's hard to keep those Virtuous Feelings going when that happens.

Dena, LA Fitness...I always wonder about that name...

Dena,
LA Fitness...I always wonder about that name. Is fitness here in LA really that different than fitness in Chicago? Perhaps the company seeks to convert some Chicagoans into folks wearing white spandex?

Anamika,
You know, I did feel a bit like I was in a bad SNL skit or on some hidden camera show.

Peggy,
Happy New Year to you too! No gym today. I went to run on the track at the park. My kids came along and my five year-old can run as fast as me. He did close to two laps with me before he got tired. I was trailing him the entire time. Sooo embarrasing.

Spider63,
Glad to see that LA and Miami have more things in common than Shaq.

Odat,
Highly entertaining indeed, but capable of fostering germ paranoia.

Ingrid,
Hello and welcome to my small corner of LA! I used to be a Liz from Rogers Park. Estes and Sheridan in fact. I miss that place and that time in my life. I used to cross the street to jog on the lakefront...but only from late March to early November. One advantage (disadvantage?) of LA is that I can never say it's too cold to go run outside.

hilarious, liz! i just found your blog. kari c. told me about it. it turns out u commented on my blog and i mistook you for another liz in rogers park. (poor blogesque-sphere ettiquette on my behalf)

That was one of the funniest posts I've read....I can soo relate to all of them!!! Gimme a break!
Just think of it as entertainment!

You and I must go to the same gym! NOT! Here in Miami, the people may be different, but many of the bad habits are the same!!

Hysterical, Liz! And now you've given me more good...

Hysterical, Liz! And now you've given me more good reasons to pretend that's why I don't work out at the gym. (I'm too lazy...and the treadmill upstairs may soon be in a garage sale...) Anyway, Happy New Year!

Hilarious!
