Speedo guys got me way too hot!

Today, at the gym, I saw a little oriental lady lifting 45 lb. dumbells over and over again. As I was trying to outdo her by lifting 50 lb. dumbells, I was briefly reminded of my gym experience last night.

I went in late last night because I couldn't miss 'American Roadtrip' on NBC. I got to the gym and went right to 'my' stair stepper in the back. I watched Kendra Wilkinson's new show on E! and realized that if they didn't blur out her breasts and butt all the time, the show would probably be considered porn. Thank goodness for those blurs. Anyways, after an hour of grueling stairs, I decided to relax my body in the jacuzzi. As always, it was very hot but the jets were soothing. It was getting late and I knew I only had a few minutes before midnight; that's when the gym closes. So, I jumped my beet red body out of the hot tub and went into the steam room.

Now, I have always used the dry sauna because I didn't like the idea of steam fogging up the room and I feared suphication.

Well, last night, I took an enormous baby step and thought I'd steam it up. I went in and there was no one in there so I turned off the lights. Every 5 minutes the steam comes out for a few seconds to fill the room again. It was very hot but I actually liked it better than the dry sauna. Until some others came in!

Two oriental men slowly entered the steam room as I lied there looking helpless and dead. When they came in I could see their shadows and I realized that they were both in speedos. I was so glad the lights were out because, well, do I really have to explain why? I thought, no big deal, and continued to relax.

Then, my luck, one of them hovered over me, covered in sweat ofcourse, and asked me, "ok, oijwfk woiesuk foejek eofsssoime?" No, really, that's what it sounded like. I knew that he was at least saying 'ok' so I looked at him and said, "ok." Next thing I know, he is filling up his water bottle from a faucet in the steam room. Thinking he was just wanting to hydrate himself, he instead goes over to the thermometer and poors the water over it. To my surprise, steam starts to gush out. I realized that what he was saying was,"Ok, more steam?" Okay. More steam. No big deal.

Next thing I know, the steam kept coming out! I couldn't see a thing but he kept pouring the water! I realized that the steam would keep coming out until he stopped! It kept coming, and coming, and coming! My legs were starting to burn and I was having a hard time breathing! I thought I would just leave but this was my first time in the steam room and I wasn't going to whimp out. But, the steam kept coming! When I started to think of how much steam I could actually endure before death, it finally stopped.

I couldn't see my hands in front of me but I could here them talking to each other. They were both speaking in loud whispers and I had no idea if they were plotting to jump me. I was in a swim suit so I obviously wouldn't have anything they could take. As I got up to leave, they both stood up at the same time. I sorta stood there and they did the same. I sat back down and they sat back down. Now I started to worry. I got back up and they did the same and then the gym manager opened the door! He yelled, "What are you guys doing in here!!!" I looked at him in utter desperation hoping that he didn't think we were spooning or something. He yelled again saying, "The gym is closed! You shouldn't be in here!" I was so grateful to that gym manager. The two guys sported their speedos all the way out the gym. I felt like I had been violated but I'm sure they didn't give me a second thought.

I will probably go back to the steam room but I will be sure never to say 'ok' just because someone else does. I will also leave the room the second someone comes in wearing speedos! As for the 50 lb. dumbells I was lifting today to show up the lil' oriental lady, they were really 25 lb. dumbells made out of rubber that looked bigger than her 45 lb. steel dumbells. I showed her!
Oh, the days at the gym! What will happen next!?!
