This sign has been up at our local Y for quite a while now. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that they ask you to do it, even though I have no idea why.
I walked in the governing area this afternoon and noticed the people were walking the opposite way from the sign’s instructions.
So, what do I do?
Join the crowd and walk the wrong way? Or buck the trend and obey the instructions?
Well, I bucked the trend. And walked (really warmed up) the correct way. And after my first three warmup laps, I looked around and everyone had switched direction.
Winning!
Also, you have to wonder what these people saw, and then thought about. Like, were they thinking “what’s this guy doing walking the wrong way”? Like a quiet psychopath?
I like to think so.
