At the gym

At the gym.

I am on a crosstrainer in the gym. I have my eyes on the street in front of me. I want to do a 30 minutes run, or how do you call that? I am thinking on how to get some more focus. I think let’s focus on the busstop sign while “running”. But then just above the sign I see in a building behind it a guy in his boxershort making up his bed. Really nice to look at. I “run” harder but lost my focus. Another guy behind me on a gymbike makes a lot of noise, it’ s stepping sounds bring me in a meditative state. Together with my own crosstrainer bike sounds and swirls it feels good. I am follow my line of the interval training, going up. But then 2 guys mount the crosstrainers behind me. I hate it when people fitness behind me. I feel looked at. They start talking about what they did and drink in the weekend, how the weather was like. A very annoying dialogue that gets me out my state of mind. One of them tells how he has got a mistress. The other one talks about the vaccinationpass. I am so annoyed and I am just trying to climb a mountain. My strength and power is sucked out of me. They finish early and I get back on speed again. Fighting my self up over the line of the interval diagram. Trying to get grip on myself, my body and the world around me. Sweat is seeping down my skin. The guy with the noisy bike is stil doing his work-out and I get sucked back into it again. Push push, get in the rhythm. My story on the interval line is almost finished. The guy on the noisy bike finishes. I put my eyes back on the street through the window. The garbage truck is coming to empty the trashcans. 5-4-3-2-1 Cooling down starts.
