no wonder he's such a fat slob, he's a lazy sob...

and i'm talking about an office mate of one of my running/walking buddies. first off, let me tell you that i don't discriminate against anyone especially when it comes to physical appearance. i do however,take pride and feel proud about the turn-around that i did for myself. i've lose a considerable amount of weight and right now,i'm maintaining an ideal weight that i see fit for myself. i've also gone to great lengths to be more physically active, eat healthier, and over-all have a better lifestyle. with that being said,let me continue on with my discussion... so you see, i' recently gone back to running and every other day for the past week, i've met up with my female running/walking buddy. we work in the same building but at different companies and we usually go for a run in a nearby runner's park after our shift is done. on the days that we can't run because of one reason or another, we walk a good five blocks from our office to the nearest terminal where we can get our respective rides home. now, mind you, we can also opt to ride public transportation to the terminal but we choose to walk since it is a good physical activity. it may not be as strenuous as running or jogging but at least its an attempt to more physically active. anyway, so my friend introduced me to her office mate. the guy is a fat piece of good for nothing slob the first time i met him. nothing against this guy but he just comes across as lazy in my eyes. seems both of them are part of the same department and working on an on-going project. additionally, they live in neighboring villages so they take the same route going home. everything's all fine with me except that during our walking trips, the guy just shows how lazy he is. he refuses to take the stairs and instead insists on taking an escalator. mind you, the walk from our office to the terminal is only five blocks. let me say that again,a measly five blocks. it is very convenient to walk as there are stairs and escalators plus since there are high rise buildings, there is enough shade for everyone. so its not like we're walking under the sun. me and my running/walking buddy are fine taking the stairs. broken escalator? no problem as we don't mind taking a few steps on the way home but this guy would rather cross the street or wait in line to take the escalator rather than take the stairs. i've mentioned this to my running/walking buddy and she seems to share my views. i do mind walking with this guy and if i had my way, i'd rather not walk with him. my running/walking buddy can't seem to shake off this guy. she has mentioned that the guy takes lunch breaks and coffee breaks with her and in more than one occasion, i've mentioned that the fat guy is trying to court her or something and my runnin/walking buddy has taken offense to this. lol! anyway, i'm trying my best to not lose my mind with this fat guy. i feel that every time he walks with us, i'd end up a fat slob like him as well. i've gone a number of times walking to the terminal without my running/walking buddy and every time she mentioned that she felt bad that i went ahead without her. i don't want to tell her off nor do i want to tell her not to get the fat guy to walk with us. not really my style. so my fellow mylotters, what would you do?
