Gym No More

Today is a sad, sad day. I was told that I can no longer go to my gym. The owner came into gym 15 minutes into my session and notified me that the lease has run out on the woman who runs the gym. I didn't even ask if the gym would be re-opened with him as manager or someone else because he made it very clear that I should not return. What can you say to that?

The most difficult part of all this is that going to that gym has been my mental health outlet. I have really relied on that gym.

The other difficult part is that I thought that the woman who ran the gym (one of Cady's clients) and I were friends. We had such a good relationship. She came into the gym a week ago with another man who was clearly a potential buyer looking at the equipment. She told me that everything was fine and that I shouldn't worry. My guess is that she could not afford the gym anymore. She recently took out a very large loan and I don't think that her regular clients were really paying regularly. It was business venture that was just too large and complicated for her. I wish she would have told me this herself.

I've spoken with our medical officer here and he is going to give me some dumbells to use at home. Coupled with a home work out dvd I hope to be getting from America, I think that I will be just fine. The sessions will be different, but that's okay. I will just have to be a little more creative now.
