I've got to remember to go to the gym earlier...

So far in my "workout" adventure, I've been to the gym three times.
So far today, I've gotten the ring I sold shipped, stopped at the bank and deposited the $40 I found buried on my desk, and before coming back went to the gym.
When I went in, there was some guy in there, and I thought, "Oh, well."
First, he was doing his workout right in front of the rack where the barbells are, so I had to squeeze my way in to get the five pound ones. I went to the other side of the gym, which was in front of a mirror so I could see him behind me. He would do things like lift weights for a couple of seconds, then walk around randomly doing nothing, and when he was working out he kept yelling spontaneously. He totally threw me off my count doing curls and I couldn't concentrate. I tried my best for half an hour, and then I was out of there.
Normally, I go to the gym about nine a.m. No one is in there, then (at least, there hasn't been the first two times I've been in there). It's really hard to concentrate when I can see someone pacing around behind me in the mirror and yelling every once in a while.

I thought you met someone, lol! But I am praying you meet a godly man who has the same faith as yours. God bless.

It made me a bit uncomfortable, but who knows what was going on with the guy, so I can't judge.
