Fitting in at the gym - TOTAL SUCCESS

7 am. At the gym with my husband. Understated work out clothes so that I look like I'm serious. It's mostly guys on the lifting floor, and I prefer not to draw attention to myself. Lifting heavy, feeling good, hitting higher weights than I have so far. Then, suddenly, it happens: a giant centipede crawls right past my foot as I'm getting ready to do seated rows, and I SHRIEK like a 5 year old being abducted and jump my feet up onto the bench so fast you'd think the floor was on fire. Half the guys' heads whip around at the sound, including dudes wearing headphones. Husband calmly gets paper towel and kills bug for me. I spend the next 3 minutes laughing hysterically at the fact that 1) I am a grown-*kitten* woman who still startles at bugs, and 2) how completely I failed at being inconspicuous.
