Psycho Girl

I met Psycho Girl at the gym yesterday. She came up to me at the end of my training session with Nadine (Nadine a.k.a. "Let Me Kick Your Ass Into Shape"). Psycho Girl introduces herself by saying, "I don't want you to think I am some kind of psycho girl but I have been watching you since you started working out with her (pointing to my Let Me Kick Your Ass trainer). I can tell you are making a lot of progress." She left by saying something to the effect of "Keep up the good work." Now I did not think she was psycho but when I told friends and family the story they said things like: "Yep, she is psycho." or "Was she looking for a new girlfriend?"

Now I did not think this was weird at all. I have seen this chick at the gym before. She appears to be a "non-psycho" type person. Before I chose a trainer I watched different trainers working with clients for about a month. Maybe Psycho girl was "watching me" because she wanted to see what kind of trainer Nadine is. Regardless of Psycho Girl's motive for giving me a compliment, I was happy to hear someone say they could see a "noticeable" difference.

After Psycho Girl left Nadine was back to business. We were ending our session with deadlifts (which I happen to like). As I was finishing the last exercise Nadine was telling me how my strength was increasing. She mentioned that I was able to lift heavier weights. Then she says (with a smile), "Yeah, you will probably be a little sore tomorrow." I said, "You mean, you KNOW I am going to be REALLY sore tomorrow, right?" She laughed and said, "Yeah, pretty much. See you on Thursday!"
