The Biker

I go to the "gym" at my apartment complex several times a week. The "gym" is a small room with a couple treadmills, an elliptical, a couple stationary bikes, basic weight machines, and no fans.
Almost every time I go, I see The Biker. He's there when I arrive, and still there when I leave. I'm usually in there for at least an hour, so I'm estimating this guy is in there anywhere from 1 to 14 hours.
The only piece of equipment I have ever seen this guy use is the stationary bike, which explains why he is The Biker.
He wears shorts with a 1/4 inch inseam. I've been dying to ask him where he gets them, because all of my running shorts go halfway to my knees, and I've been thinking I should sex up my workout routine. He also wears sweatbands (headband and wristbands), and a tank top. Not just a sleeveless shirt, the kind where the sides hang down so low you can see nips.
He also brings a backpack. I have never seen him remove anything from this, but he always has it, and its always very full looking. Keep in mind that this is an apartment complex gym, that people walk to from their 15-feet-away homes. I bring my keys and a water bottle. I can't even come up with enough stuff that I would feel the need to bring that would Fill A Backpack.
The stretches. There is about three square feet of open floor space in this room, and boy does this guy take advantage of it. I have never seen a man bend like this, and it makes me really uncomfortable. Keep in mind the short shorts. Again, 15-feet-away apartments. I usually wait until I get back to my apartment to do any bending over or spreading my legs.
So now I betyou've lot your appetite you'd love to see some food pics.
Apple cinnamon flax waffle, morningstar farms sausage, scrambled eggs with broccoli, strawberries, syrup.
Leftover stuffed pork chop and broccoli.
Veggie hot dog and salad.
On another note, I really want to use wordpress, because I like being able to have separate pages for recipes and stuff. I downloaded it, but I have no clue where to go from there. So, if anyone has done this and can walk me through it, I would be really happy. And I would probably even start posting consistently...

I am definitely drooling over here. If I lived there (or anywhere remotely close), I would be at that gym EVERY day!
(kidding!)
If your cell phone has a camera, you should totally bring it and take a few shots!

I also wonder where people buy some of their workout clothes.
i like to picture them at some obscure shop picking up a pair of tie dyed spandex saying, "YES, THIS is what I want to spend my money on."

I think there always has to be one of those people at an apartment complex. The one who is always there and doing odd stuff. For example there was this guy at my old apartment who had hair down to his waist, and had it pulled back in a scrunchie (a large one from the 80's none the less) and always worked out without his shirt on. This wasn't the worst of it though because whenever he was there, which by the way was every time I went, he would be lifting weights. But seriously mr. macho man was was sooo loud, with every rep he would be grunting. I tried my best to get my workout over as quickly as possible!
