Barely 300, annoying

Luckily I forgot my watch today for the 300.  I’m sure I didn’t clock in at a 23:20, I bet it was closer to 25 minutes.  My energy level was low.  I had to struggle just to get get to 300 reps.  The last set of 25 pull ups was broken into 4 sets, I just had no gas in the tank.

It was another one of those days when I had another annoying individual back in my cave.  This time it was an old guy that was incredibly average looking.  Horseshoe pattern baldness, middle aged, average height, average weight.  Well this guy was doing this ridiculous workout that looked to be a click or two above sleeping in terms of calories burned.  He had a padded mat and one of the balance balls.  He would do sets of very simple, slow, easy rolls on the ball and then would relax for 5 minutes in between sets, practically taking a nap on the mat while his feet were propped up on the ball.  I found this incredibly annoying as I was busting my ass.  After he got done with his casual ball routine a couple times he got up and put on padded gloves and hit the heavy bag that is in the cave.  Again this was ridiculous looking.  He hit with no force, instead he just fired rapid fire little love taps while standing flat footed.  It looked like what a 5 year old does when he puts on his first pair of Socker Boppers.

Now of course logically I know that this guy is entitled to work out in as silly as a manner as he pleases.  But when I am in the middle of a 300, the stress and strain I am putting my body through short circuits the patience portion of my brain.  I really had the urge to just turn to the guy and yell “Will you just get the F out of here??!!!”
