Apparently when I decided to work out at one of the main gyms on post I chose the wrong time to go. When I got to the gym it was secondary PT for the soldiers and the place was packed. I still went ahead and went in (even though I hate working out around other people) and managed to snag a treadmill with no problems. I was doing my normal routine when I noticed that the guy on the machine next to me kept staring at me and at one point I looked behind me to find another guy staring at me. I have a lot of issues with my body but I do know that some guys seem to think I am sexy and, for me, to be stared at is uncomfortable. Not to sound conceited but it did not seem like they were exactly hating the view. In fact the guy next to me even smiled at me when he noticed that I noticed him looking at me.
After about 30 minutes into my workout my knee popped out of place. It is something that happens a lot with me and usually I have no problem, it goes back in place and after a couple of minutes the pain stops enough that I can get on with my workout. Today when it happened I used it as an excuse to go ahead and leave because I was just so uncomfortable with all the guys being there. I know that it was just an excuse to leave and I know that I need to get over my aversion to crowds but today I gladly grabbed the excuse and ran with it. I will go back later tonight when I know there will not be a lot of people around and have another go at finishing my workout.
On the plus side, in the 30 minutes I was there I did manage to walk/jog 2 miles at a 3% incline!
