gym bunnie

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usI've been hanging at the Gym more frequently these past weeks. Mostly because Spring has decided he wants to get fit and with it and shocked at his ability to only managed 2 lengths before needed CPR.
He's doing ok. He's losing the 'I'm an old walrus about to croak' look for the main part but boy is he a spitting ball of kitten fur if someone swims by him and;

  • Splashes him... Apparently they tried to drown him
  • Looks like an Olympic swimmer. They are just showing off
  • Doesn't stop at each end gasping like a fish out of water... Like he does.
  • gets in the jacuzzi with us... Like who are they to get in OUR jacuzzi!

Today I took Danz for a quick morning swim (as all good mummies do) . Saturday mornings are a bit of a pain. It's kids morning. Today had lots of dads with their kids splashing about. One father had his little daughter jumping in. Well fine, but she jumped in about 50 times. Right in the path of the swimmers. Kids under 4 are free at the gym. I don't think they should interfere with the important process of exercise.... Why go swimming otherwise?
Then we had the 'Swim like a fish' man. He did most of the length underwater which made it quite tricky with the kids splashing about. He nearly drowned a few of them (yippee) but he really should have been in the sectioned off lane swim area.
Then there was the social swimmers. Three old ladies. Swimming side by side and still managing to talk about which brand of washing powder they use, what's for tea tonight and not get their 'shampoo and set' hair wet. They stopped every three strokes.
I really don't seem to be getting any fitter though! More moany but no fitter.
Going to lie down now........... ;P
