Why My Gym Bag is Tired

Sunday – Put on bathing suit, sweats, flip-flops. Pack gym bag with dinner clothes, shoes, socks, make-up, brush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer. Go to swim practice. Swim 1300 meters with Coach S and TRIgirls. Shower at gym. Wrap wet bathing suit in towel. Put in gym bag with swim cap and goggles. Meet friends and hubby for dinner. Go home. Unpack gym bag. Hang bathing suit up. Cross fingers that bathing suit is dry by next morning. Repack gym bag with work clothes, make-up, etc.

Monday – Put on bathing suit, sweats, flip-flops. Breathe sigh of relief that bathing suit is mostly dry. Go to Guppy swim lesson. Swim 1400 meters. Spaz out during drill using tennis balls and buoys. Shower at gym. Wrap wet bathing suit in towel. Put in bag with swim cap and goggles. Go to work. Meet friends for dinner. Drive home. Unpack gym bag. Hang bathing suit up. Repack gym bag with bike shorts, shirt, bike shoes, socks. Realize another bag is needed for tomorrow’s work clothes. Pack second bag. Lay out running pants, fleece, sneakers, socks and Garmin for next morning’s run.

Tuesday – Put on running clothes. Run 3 mile negative split. Go to gym near work to shower. Go to work. Drive to bike and weight training. Change out of work clothes into bike shorts, shirt, sneakers, socks packed in second bag. Do weight exercises. Run back to gym bag, take off sneakers and put on bike shoes. Shoot, forgot towel. Bike on trainer for one hour. Hit level 10 for first time. Go home. Unpack both gym bags. Repack one gym bag with towel, bathing suit, swim cap, goggles for tomorrow’s Masters class.

Realize that I haven’t showered at home in three days.

And that I’ve been getting dressed from clothes stuffed in a bag way more often than from hangers or drawers.
