The Giggle Girls DON"T share the track!

If you read my status on FB today then you know that my workout got rudely interrupted this morning! Let me start with a little background about my gym first. My vbf (Martha) and I work out at the southeast TCC campus gym mon-fri from 6:30-7:15 and we pretty much stick to the track with the occasional jump rope or rowing machine in between laps. There are the regulars that we see just about every morning that also stick to a routine. There's volleyball guy who as you can guess just basically plays volleyball/soccer/basketball on the basketball court which is below the track. Then there is clapper who works out on the treadmill and yes claps as he does it, not a fast applauding clap more of a slow while stretching out his arms clap. And yes we have nick named ourselves the giggle girls because well if you know us that's self exclamatory. Then the first of the year happened and everyone with a new years resolution started showing up. Still everyone stuck to their own thing, (with the exception of Steve the Thief who stole clappers treadmill but he hasn't come in a while) not bothering each other. I think its great that more people are wanting to get in shape but I am not crazy about the bigger audience we have to workout in front of. Today the gym was packed with new people and this group of 10-12 people came in all wearing the same outfit with shirts that said army across them. We determined that they were probably the national guard. They started out on the basketball court which in our crazy heads didn't make volleyball guy to happy. Then after some stretching they headed upstairs to where the track is, which also in our crazy heads didn't make us to happy. We were just walking today and were almost done when they proceed to run on OUR track! (yes in our crazy heads we own it) The track is only 3 lanes and 3 of them were running full speed on it as we were trying to walk. What made it worse is that as they were running with what sounded like a herd of elephants we had to move or get trampled on. And as they passed one shouted back "If you stay in the middle you'll be fine" but he said that as he barreled down the middle lane!! So yes I guess I would have been fine if I had wanted to get ran over! Needless to say we cut our workout short today and we blame the army. Thank you for fighting for our country and keeping us safe but could you please find another track to run on. The giggle girls don't share well!!!
