I go daily except Sunday, from about 7am to about 8am. I only don't go when I've hurt myself or I'm sick.

I wake up, put on my clothes and hit the gym. When I get home, I have a hearty, protein-rich breakfast.

Gym's are why the iPod was invented! It's not like the gym is going to put Wagner or Holst on the loudspeakers. At least not my gym. If there is a gym out there that does, I have to find it.

I have casual friendships with some of the other people at the gym, but nothing particularly deep. Mostly we share what we know about health and where we heard it from to determine if it's true or bullshit. And yes, the gym is a good place to find fit members of the opposite (or same) sex. Many a mojo can be found there, though some come off sleazy.

The gym is a building full of equipment I don't have at home that has some eye candy. I don't think of it as much more than simply the place I go to exercise. It does what it's supposed to do for me, what I pay for.
