Cover Up Please!

Monday was an off day. Tuesday ran 5 miles at an 8min pace. Felt really good, did some additional light weightlifting and headed home for Maggie's official 3rd birthday, although everyone was still asleep when I returned. Wednesday wanted to run at lunch but forgot my sneakers so it quickly became an off day. Today ran 6.5 miles at an 8:30 pace continue to feel stronger and wanted to run more but ran out of time. I'm not a huge fan of the locker room chit chat that goes on at the gym ESPECIALLY when the "chatty Cathy" is carrying on in the nude. I'm just returning from the shower and this dude chimes in with "what a day already had my first conference call." I'm now racing to put as much clothing on as possible as mano y mano naked talk is something I try to avoid. Even if I'm covered in my towel, which I was, I don't feel that there's enough of a barrier there. "Oh yeah I've got a root canal and it's my birthday too." "well good luck with the root canal" is all I care to say and keep on getting changed. I really wanted to say "Hey less talky talky and more of putting on those chick magnet bikini briefs that I'm positive you've got in your gym bag." "My dentist told me that whoever did the cavity I have did it horribly wrong and now I'm thinking total Malpractice case. I had asked the dentist if she was planning to buy a new BMW because she told me I needed 11 fillings." "Wow 11 fillings were you brushing your teeth with Mountain Dew?" Nude man actually scolds me for thinking his saying 11 fillings was the truth, "No not 11 it was more like 6 or 4 but you know what I'm saying. " I don't actually know what you're saying because I'm losing my mind at your blatant disregard for wanting to cover your "goods and services". I don't understand why people can't cover up in a gym locker room. There are guys who shave with the towel slung over their shoulder, dudes who walk around like elephants on parade and the absolute worst are the guys who sit their bare arses down on the benches. The locker room should be a get in and get out location it shouldn't be some sort of naked Coffee Klatch.
