and this 'round a clock place

joy, one of my roommates, and i joined the gym here in reno when we both came out in early january. i'm a pretty frequent exerciser anyway, but we decided to get personal trainers for the time that we're here - just to see how much they could push us. the gym was running a special (of course, since it was january and everyone and their mother decides to sign up as part of a new year's resolution) anyway, so we are giving it a shot.

my trainer's name is dan - he's 37, awkward, and one of the funniest people i've ever met. once we get to the machines, though, he turns into this serious dude who says "okay, five more" when he really means ten. my arms are killing me today.

joy's trainer is aaron, and he's pretty much the stereotypical jock type who is really into bulking up and downing protein shakes. he's also gorgeous - but he knows it. blegh. talk about attitude.

i should mention that reno is a 24-hour city and therefore, multiple business are open all hours of the day and night. the gym, the casinos (of course...), wal-mart (again, of course...) mcdonalds, all grocery stores, some starbucks, applebees, ihop, etc. it's great. i'll start working nights next week, so it'll be nice to be able to get stuff done at odd hours. that also pushes my trainer appointments to 7 am. i really wish i could stick to the 1 pm time slot i've got going right now... :)

now if only i could convince the movie theaters and target to be open 24/7... that would completely make my life!
