At the gym

You will not believe what I saw yesterday at the gym.

Now, the gym is a prime people-watching venue, and I have had my share of fun and unusual sightings - but this, guys, this took the cake.

So, there I was running, not unlike a Kenyan, on the treadmill.

The kids had been particularly irritating so I was running swiftly in an effort to burn off frustration.

Here's my view from the treadmill:

My view from the treadmill

With AC DC's "You shook me all night long" blaring in my earphones - I was in the zone.

When suddenly, this appeared

Expletive!! Expletive!! Man with a gas mask! 

I kid you not.

Like a ninja, a moderately ripped man wearing a Gas Mask leapt into my field of view.

Were we under attack?

I nearly fell off the treadmill.

Gas Mask Guy began to do push-ups.

While wearing a gas mask. 


I managed to regain my stride and not go tumbling off the treadmill - but it required intense concentration.

After several sequences of bizarre, crawling, military style push-ups
Gas Mask Guy retired to some other area of the gym.

Seriously?

Did I just see a guy with a gas mask? At the gym?

Yep.

Awesome.
