Bike shorts AND wristbands
With only 17 days until my first triathlon of the season, I've been really sticking to my training plan. So yesterday I went to a weight lifting class, and then this yoga/tai-chi/pilates blend class that I probably won't attend again.
Anyway about that weight lifting class. I usually go Thursdays, but because I was going with a friend and her schedule is tight, we went yesterday, Wednesday. So it was a different instructor from usual. It was a male instructor AND HOLD ON---
Was I about to start talking about the class without first mentioning who was in the class? Priorities. MY PROF. He took a spot RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. WEARING TIGHT, SWEATY BIKE SHORTS. And I tried to make a friendly "haha oh hi" wave/smile but he was pretending not to recognize me. And lets face it, there are only 6 girls in my entire class. Just saying. And he's been teaching us for a month now. Come on. Surely he recognized me. Awkward parade, am I right?
...WEARING BIKE SHORTS.
So the instructor of the class was cute for a minute in a "cowboy accent!" sort of way, until I realized he was wearing a popped collar polo... to instruct a weight lifting class. Also wristbands with a skull and cross bones on them. And was probably about 150% older than me.
All in all, he was basically Dane Cook. And while I will not deny that I once could crack up at any time of the day if I even so much as thought "want me to put honey on your thighs?" I've definitely grown out of my Dane Cook stage (and moved on to the biggerbetter of Jake and Amir and Picnicface).
Also nearing the end of the class he started to lose his accent. HE WAS FAKING BEING SOUTHERN!
What I'm saying is: I will avoid the Wednesday weight lifting class from now on.

Wow that whole scenario is awkward :)
And ew Dane Cook.
that reminds of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry sees his therapist at the beach wearing a thong. Awesome.
Oh no that is so awkward! I would NOT want to be at the gym with any of my professors even if everyone was dressed in non-spandex outfits. Ick.
Faking an accent? So not cool. Well, it is until you get caught.
I absolutely hate running into people I know at the gym- no matter who it is, it's always so awkward. Someone's sweaty or in a hurry or both and just, ugh.
Eek! I would NEVER want to see anyone from work at the gym. In undergrad, I used to see my advisor at the gym all the time, but she was a really nice, mid-30s lady who knew only to chat with me for 0.5 seconds and then move on.
Also, no bike shorts.
okay that is so weird. why would the instructor fake being southern?! and seeing a prof in bike shorts...yeah i think i would like to avoid that for the rest of my life, ah.
do NOT knock faking southern -- lots of awesome people do that.... right?
Faking an accent reminds me of Ross from Friends when he began teaching and pretended to have an accent.
Ahhhhhh!
This reminds me of when my friends saw the extremely spastic head of our graduate program at a step class, bouncing her little heart out.
Popped collars are unacceptable in general, and are a cardinal sin when working out!

2. loved dc in hs...but he was totts overrated in uni
3. if iiiii had to fake an accent i'd go british.
