Expert  1121   Chicago |  Subject: RE: TAN #179-It's smart to use a protecTANt.My gym used to have curtains on the shower stalls. When you were done, you would leave the curtain open and anyone could see that the shower was clearly open. About a year ago they switched to solid door that swung shut no matter what; from the outside, you could not tell whether or not the stall was occupied. On the first day, during the few minutes that I was in the shower, there was a steady chorus of, "Whoops! Sorry 'bout that" as doors were opened to occupied showers. Within two days (literally, no more), without a word needing to be spoken, everyone started throwing their towel over the door rather than using the hook inside the shower as a clear "Someone's in here!" signal. Sort of funny and somewhat interstesting that the locker room immediately and informally adopted an effective method of communication to avoid the awkwardness, but after that I didn't really think about it again. So today, I go to the gym and find a sliding latch on the inside of the shower door, which suggests that at least some members were really, really bent out of shape about the possiblity of someone accidentally opening their door for the split second before they realized the the shower was in use. I want privacy in the shower, but this struck me as somewhat insecure. |

This is the one night we have nothing on our schedules. So I will still get to bed early, so I can ride in the early morning (4:30 AM) before we go to a conference all day at chirch about teenagers. Then early to bed again for an early (4:30) run on Sunday morning!
Today I sleot in till 6:30 and felt like I missed half the day already As much as I miss being active, I won't lie I don't miss all the scarifices I use to make for training. When I go back, I will not spend as much time training as I once did, or at least until I am in a stable relationship where I need the time away well my race is in 3 weeks, and I will not be too upset when it is over truth be told. I'm tired I hear ya! I will tire myself out running my 20 minutes this weekend :-) I have been on TOP a lot in #179!
How's the view from up there? From below is better for me. :-)
too easy :-) |

In theory you could, but I would probably get kicked out of the gym, and possibly arrested, if I went into the showers of the locker room where, generally speaking, that would have any interst. |
