I workout alone most of the time, and I love it—it’s uninterrupted me time.
But sometimes, like when I do something good, I really wish someone was there to celebrate with me.
I back squat 20 reps @ 225# today.
One of the trainers came over as I was racking the weight and crumbling to the floor and quipped, “warming up?”
I stood back up and said, “I just did that! 20 times!”
He shrugged.
SHRUGGED!
And said, “Doesn’t surprise me coming from you.”
I said, “But it’s hard! Appreciate me!!”
HE SHRUGGED AGAIN. And then as he walked away, “good job though, that is hard. That’s hard for anyone.”
Good job though.
*new readers: xlyssa was my (short-lived) crossfit blog in which I got to catalog/brag about my workouts routinely. Very big part of being a faux celeb.
