This Forester with far too many 26.2 “look, I ran a marathon!” stickers on the back is parked at the pool next to my gym. I hate it oh so very much, and yet it’s only #3 on the list of things I hate on this gym visit.
#3) Fuckyoubaru Forester. I don’t give a fuck how far you ran, and if you tell me about it I will respond by sarcastically asking how much you can bench, because that’s nicer than punching you in the face.
#2) The shriveled old dude brushing his teeth with a power toothbrush in the locker room. Bzzzzzzzzwaaaaawoooooowwwssshhhhhbaaaaaaaaaawaaaaabzzzzwoooowaaaaaa.
#1) The less shriveled old dude chatting with a friend at the water cooler, who thinks spandex boxer briefs are acceptable to wear as shorts, with nothing else but a workout tank tucked into them.

Yeesh. I’d suggest finding a new gym, but virtually all of them have a few people like this.
Also wtf on #1- seems like management needs to have a chat with him about appropriate attire...

It’s the standard outfit for him and this one other dude every time they’re here. I even see them wearing that shit in group classes. Nobody tells them, “hey, cover up your dick and balls bro.” Nobody wants to see your old man junk.

I think that 26.2 stickers were on sale. That many marathons is kind of ridiculous.

Something tells me that they either enjoy showing off their antique junk, or they’re just trying to prove their “I’m old and IDGAF” status.

I saw a car with a 26.2 and a 13.1 sticker. Like once you do a full marathon nobody gives a shit that you’ve done a half. Nobody should give a shit you did a full one either, but they definitely shouldn’t care about a half.

Numbers 3 and 2, eh. But 1 is a hanging offense.

I think he thinks they’re proper technical workout wear.
He also enjoys telling anyone who will listen that he’s a guitar player, while waggling all of his fingers as if to indicate that arthritis hasn’t yet claimed his ability to do that.

My “Creepy old man” meter is reading off the charts now.

“antique junk” - wow, I’m still laughing about that one

I’d with the runner and ask him if he’s ever run a marathon, to which he would probably reply with how many he’s run, in which case I’d get to respond with:
“Cool story bro.”

For years I always thought they were radio station stickers, as they look identical to the local radio station promo stickers. When I got my own car and started listening to the radio I realized hey wait.... there is no 26.2 on the radio. Derp.

I have a friend who ran a mararthon on his first attempt about a week after getting into running. Kid isn’t even an “athlete”. Never played any sports, but has done a lot of backpacking. He doesn’t go around telling everyone about it though.

Wow. Do people hit you up for sex while you’re there, or is that on your list of complaints as well? #beingatroll
I had a good gym trip this morning. I do CrossFit. I was doing a complex with the bar at 50 kg. Clean, squat, jerk. Working on getting to 60 kg. I bought some wrist wraps and it’s a game changer.
