now hiring a gym buddy

Too sore to move today. Admittedly I am shocked at how my body can run 10 miles with minimal soreness the next day but just an hour of squats, pushups and weight training has me so sore I want to cry! I know that it makes sense physiologically but don't like it just the same.

I had a free training session yesterday because I just moved gyms. I always dread these free appointments as I have little to no tolerance of meatheads showing me how weak I am. I get it. You like protein shakes and hair gel and I like running sneakers and ipods. Oil and water, I tell you.

I know that I need to be doing things other than running but the gym is infested with protein obsessed meatheads. I also feel 100% stupid doing exercises like he had me doing yesterday. Oh well maybe I just have to suck it up.

I think now I need a gym buddy on top of my running buddies. Here's the deal:

Qualifications:

- Normal amount of enthusiasm (all those with the work-out sunshine and lollypops approach will not be considered)

- Serious distrust of protein powders

- Low-maintenance (please don't insist upon matching your outfits or wearing makeup at the gym)

- No desire to forgo shirts and prance around the gym in just a sports bra

- Don't be too "earthy", must believe in deodorant and shaving

- be slightly (key word here is slightly) more in shape than me so you can show me how to do stuff

- Understand that 30% of the time I will hate your guts

Key responsibilities of the job:

- Making me laugh

- Keeping me in a routine

- Deterring approaching meatheads

- Going out for wine and beer after some works outs

- Calling paramedics if necessary

If you feel you fit the requirements above please send your resume and cover letter to me.

Happy Friday Everyone!  I'll leave you with my favorite You-Tube video of all times. If you closely resemble any of the characters, for the love of god do not apply to be my gym buddy. ;)
