The Meltdown - Pylon's Journal V 3.1

Thats terrible about your gym!!! 24 hour Fitness is available!!! Take it easy with the leg, hope it heals quickly my Friend!!!

Pylon · 10-03-2006, 06:10 AM

Well, the knee feels prety good. Wore a wrap all weekend to be safe, but seems to be OK now. Did 45 min on the bike last night, no problems, so I'm going to assume we are ok.

I think I may back off of the 10K thing for this month. I don't want to stress it too much. I may still run the 5k, tho. In fact, I will probably run it. Just want to be careful with it.

As for the gym, haven't started looking yet. I'm mostly doing cardio work right now, which I can do at home. I may end up back at the Y, only because I could get back into racketball that way.

Archangel · 10-03-2006, 01:50 PM

Sounds good, take care of the knee, and don't forget about me and some raquetball my Friend!!! You'll prolly take me to school, but I'll have alot of fun!!!

Burner02 · 10-03-2006, 07:36 PM

Hey Py!

for your lyrical pleasure....

YMCA, The Village People

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the YMCA (rpt)
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

Young man, are you listening to me
I said young man, what do you want to be
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know that one thing

No man does it all by himself
I said young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today

Chorus

Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I was alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone came up to me
And said young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way

It's fun to stay at the YMCA (rpt)
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

oh..and in case you travel abroad..to say...Germany...you can still sing along!

Junger Mann, dort ist keine Notwendigkeit, unten zu fühlen
Ich besagter junger Mann, Auswahl sich weg vom Boden
Ich besagter junger Mann, ' verursache Sie bin in einer neuen Stadt
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit, unglücklich zu sein

Junger Mann, gibt es einen Platz, den Sie gehen können
Ich besagter junger Mann, wenn Sie auf Ihrem Teig kurz sind
Sie können dort bleiben und ich bin sicher, daß Sie finden
Viele Weisen, eine gute Zeit zu haben

Es ist der Spaß, zum am YMCA (rpt) zu bleiben
Sie haben alles, damit junge Männer genießen
Sie können mit allen Jungen heraus hängen

Junger Mann, sind Sie hörend auf mich
Ich besagter junger Mann, was Sie sein möchten
Ich besagter junger Mann, Sie kann real Ihre Träume bilden
Aber Sie haben, diese eine Sache zu kennen

Kein Mann tut sie ganz allein
Ich besagter junger Mann, setzte Ihren Stolz auf das Regal
Und gehen gerade, zum YMCA
Ich bin sicher, daß sie Ihnen heute helfen können

Chor

Junger Mann, war ich einmal in Ihren Schuhen
Ich sagte, war ich unten und heraus mit dem Blau
Ich glaubte keinem Mann, der interessiert wurde, wenn ich lebendig war
Ich glaubte, daß die ganze Welt so jive war

Das ist, als jemand bis zu mir kam
Und besagter junger Mann, nehmen gehen herauf die Straße
Es gibt einen Platz, der dort das YMCA genannt wird
Sie können Sie auf Ihrer Weise zurück beginnen

Es ist der Spaß, zum am YMCA (rpt) zu bleiben
Sie können sauber sich erhalten
Sie können eine gute Mahlzeit haben
Sie können tun, was auch immer Sie glauben

Pylon · 10-04-2006, 07:17 PM

OK, you have convinced me not to join the Y...

Triple Threat · 10-04-2006, 07:28 PM

Burner, is there something you're trying to tell us?

Burner02 · 10-04-2006, 08:41 PM

I'm just tryng to help a friend out..and all I get is hate.

Pylon · 10-07-2006, 08:10 PM

I appreciate the effort, Burner...

OK, I've been on a mini-slide since last week. On the bright side, my diet hasn't been as bad as it could be. (I've been eating a lot of cereal, but it's been stuff like frosted mini-wheat. I have a mortal weakness for them.) ad news is I've stalled out on cardio work. I've decided I need to get a gym lined up and get back to work. Looks like is will be the Y. Good locations (even if only decent facilities) and I can go back to a metro membership, which is good. Planning on getting set up Monday.

Double D · 10-07-2006, 08:25 PM

I'll never step foot in a YMCA again. Whenever I was in college we were suppose to have free passes because we were students. We went there and the lady was completely rude and wouldnt let us even go in. She said she didnt know anything about it. So we went back to the dorms (our school gym was getting redone). Called about it the next day and the manager said that we could come and it would be free. Went back same lady and eveyrthing and she still wouldnt let us in. We leave the manager calls us the next day saying well we are sorry, but due to people leaving trash in the parking lot we decided to break ties with your school! Hell no one from our school ever goes there! So as an end results I am banning YMCA's from anything I do for the rest of my natural life.

But I hope you like it.......

Pylon · 10-08-2006, 05:46 AM

Well, I doubt it was the same location (

), but even so, you shouldn't write off the Y as a whole because of a couple of people. But I can certainly understand why you would.

Double D · 10-08-2006, 10:54 AM

Actually I went to school at Maryville University in St.Louis!!!!

Pylon · 10-08-2006, 04:17 PM

Really? Which Y gave you problems? Are you from the Loo?

Burner02 · 10-08-2006, 06:30 PM

is that..like...Missoui slang?

Pylon · 10-08-2006, 07:08 PM

The Loo is the hip way of saying St. Louis. It was Nelly's idea. He's really cool.

Burner02 · 10-08-2006, 07:27 PM

word, yo

Double D · 10-08-2006, 07:28 PM

Haha, no not from there, but lived there for 2 years while I went to school there. I am like 2 hours or so away. I went to the Y around Chesterfield.

Burner02 · 10-08-2006, 07:29 PM

wait..I was wrong...in Mo..it would be: word, y'all....

If you mean the one by the mall, then it's the same branch. My office is by Spirit airport, so I could go to the O'fallon branch (nice) or Wildwood (I've heard it's nice too.)

Huh. small world. Where you at now?

Double D · 10-08-2006, 09:13 PM

Right now I live by Springfield Illinois.

I dont go to a gym, I have the things I need at home in my garage.

Pylon · 10-12-2006, 01:27 PM

OK, quick update -

No, I haven't been posting, which means no w'outs, either. (And a crap diet, but....well, you know...)

ANYWAY, good news. I joined a new gym today. Ended up not going to the Y after all. The place down the street is letting me finish out the year at the same price I was paying at the old gym (about $30/month less than their going rate.) If I stay, the rate will probably even go down a bit more in January. (They are combining everyone from the old gym into a group and giving us a rate based on numbers. I would end up paying about $10 less than I was.)

First w/out will be tomorrow. I'll try to get caught up with everyone later tonight.

Triple Threat · 10-12-2006, 02:26 PM

That's great news about the gym. Now get in there and start cracking.

Double D · 10-13-2006, 01:44 AM

Fantastic news, glad you arent going to the crappy YMCA....haha.

Burner02 · 10-15-2006, 05:03 PM

sounds good! U back at the gym then?

Pylon · 10-15-2006, 08:04 PM

Planning to lift tomorrow at lunch, working on the routine tonight. My day will be short since I scored tix to the games tomrrow night. Should be a good time...

Archangel · 10-16-2006, 04:15 PM
