As I Affectionately Call It, "Dumpy"

Went to the gym tonight - I have a 24 Hour Fitness membership - although, unlike their name, they aren't all open 24 hours. The one I like to go to on La Paz has limited hours on the weekend - although is open 24 hours during the week. They call it one of their "Active" gyms (rather than calling it classic or old or as I affectionately call it, "dumpy"). They also have "Sport" - which I can go to and then "Super Sport" and "Ultra Sport" and "Out of this World Sport" - or something like that - I can't get into any of those. So tonight, since I went around 9pm - I couldn't go to my favorite one (they close at 9pm and open Monday morning at 4am - UGH!) - I had to travel up to the Irvine Spectrum one (not the knew one inside the Spectrum - that's one of the fancy shmancy ones I can't go to) - but there is one across from Irvine Meadows that has the distinction of being the Irvine Spectrum one - at least according to their website. Speaking of Irvine Meadows (yes, I know it has a different name now - and has for a long time) - I heard Def Leppard from the parking lot - they were playing tonight. Anywho - back to the gym... So I go to the Irvine Spectrum one because it's a Sport one and is open 24 hours even on the weekend - two things that bugged me - 1. it stank - I know it's a gym - but I don't remember the "dumpy" one smelling so much like sweat - probably because no one goes there! And 2. they had old precor machines - I was disappointed. I wasn't very impressed at all (kinda' like the webkins - hee... hee... hee...). Anyway - will have to go earlier on Sundays so I can go to the little one around the corner. At least it was a good workout - didn't have the problem I had last week of getting part way into the workout and thinking I was going to die! Felt good tonight.
