Luckily, I remembered at the last moment. And I always keep a spare pair of socks in my gym bag so I could put those on afterward and slip back into my sneakers. I did get a bit impatient when two other women came into the locker room, obliviously chatting. I needed to put some lotion on my face and you obviously can't do that wearing a mask, so I had to wait until they left. I used the yellow gym towel to wipe down the shower. It's not very big or absorbent but it's enough to pick up all the stray hairs. The water pressure makes it all worth it.
The workout itself was routine. I couldn't access either elliptical but the Step Mill was unoccupied. I added an extra 5 minutes and increased the speed to 5 just for that time. Maybe next time I'll spend 20 minutes on the Expresso Bike. That's always a lot of sweaty fun.
I recognize a few regulars like Little R and Bandana Man. There's maybe half a dozen people populating the entire gym. I would've thought Mondays would be more crowded, but we are here late morning. There's no lunchtime crowd. My husband and I do separate workouts but try to finish at the same time. It's nice having a routine again. And better now that I can shower immediately afterward instead of riding home sticky and sweaty.
