Dear So and So

Haha. Zumba people do seem to be rather cult-like, don't they?

To say the least! I tried it twice and, while the actual class was fun, the catty, obsessed women drove me to the brink!

I want to tell all of the Zumba people to get outside!
People probably think I talk too much about cycling, although I try to really limit it with my regular friends, and especially at work.

Owlie, your comment made me think of all the characters I knew at my old gym. They do seem cult like, even though they weren't all doing one thing. When I was going into Trader Joe's Monday I saw the one who I was most amazed at. She spent all morning on the treadmill, running at a very high speed. I mean, she ran for at least 2 hours. She spent some time lifting weights, too, but she ran every day, in full make up and she barely sweat. Always with a friend who was walking on the treadmill. She never did any races or ran outside. I actually heard her say she hated being outside. She was still wearing her gym clothes when I saw her in the early afternoon.
I don't know why this person irked me so much, but she definitely has an issue.
