Pumping Iron

I always see the SDSU throwing coach lifting in the weight room.  This guy is super nice, but I am super awkward around him.  And of course I had thought of a smart remark and needed to share it with him.

I had lifted weights for 25 minutes over lunch break and had become extremely bored.  Lyndon had lifted for 3 hours straight from what I had observed from walking past the weight room all morning.  So I decided to tell him that he was crazy for lifting so much.

Me: How long do you try to get swollen?
Lyndon: What?
Me: How long do you lift?  I have seen you in here for like 3 hours!
Lyndon: I'm just trying to get a good workout in.  
Me: Don't you get bored?
Lyndon: Nah, it is better than running for an hour.  (Lyndon knows I run).  Come on down sometime and we will lift together and you won't get bored.
Me: No way.  Don't you see me push mowing outside for eight hours?  That's my lifting… check out these muscles! (I don't have anything to show off!)
Lyndon: (laughs)
Me: (Awkward laugh) um, I have to go lift now outside.  Check ya lata!

I have not gone back to talk to him.  AWKWARD!
