good gym conversations, 6.30.24

i was at planet today after getting my tire from costco. as i was doing triceps pull-downs, someone asked me where i got my shoes. i told him they were levi x crocs collabs and that they could be found online. i said they were comfortable and i end up wearing them everywhere. we put our headphones back in and get back to working out. 10 minutes go by and he asks me if i go to ipswich park. it caught me off guard, but i told him i did. he then said he’s seen me there walking bagel and that he goes there often to play pokemon go. we get to talking and we have a 10-minute conversation about living in north reading, our majors in college, and how expensive boston is. i find out he used to date a girl that lives in my neighborhood, though i don’t know her, i know her dog because i’ve seen her dog around lol. it was good to have conversation at the gym today. i don’t know if it’s the right word, but i’m always thankful (?) when people recognize me? i don’t know what i’m saying because it sounds arrogant and that’s not the way i want this to come off so i’ll end today’s entry here lol.

shoutout to him, it’s always nice meeting nice people and having good conversation.
