I observed the rec again. I diversified my observations a bit more today, begining with the weight and fitness room as usual, then the lounge and finally I went up to the track on the forth floor. This was by far the dullest day in terms of people at the rec center. I went there at 1:30 and left by 2:45 and i can honestly say that i saw maybe a quarter of the crowd that can be usually be found. Even the basketball courts were dead. Of the people that were there, most of them were students in their late teens and early twenties. In the lounge were three girls sitting apart from each other. two of the girls were on their laptops. On had a dell and the other had a ibook. The girl with the ibook was wearing a pink fleece. The other girl on the dell, had a mesh sweater on,. The girl at the tv had her back towards meso i really couldn't see what she looked like. She was using her arm as a head rest and was watching the news.
In the weight room/fitness room were 9 people. Most of which were in the weight room. Two of the bench presses were occupied, one on the squat rack, also both lat pull downs had people on them as well as the calf machine. On the calf machine was a girl, she was about 5ft9 with dark brown hair. She was thin and was very brief in her use of the machine. The two guys on the benches were both lifting the same amount of weight, they both had cross country shirts on so i assumed that they were runners. In the other room were twogirls and an older woman. all three were on the eliptical. I decided to leave the room because no one new was coming in so i headed for the fourth floor and observed the track.
At the track were two people running together, a male and a female. In the walking lane was a girl who seemed tired, she was probably doing another exercise of running just previously. on the side near the track was a group of six girls that were stretching. They did this for a couple of minutes and then began to jog. The fitness area by the track had two people in it. On was a guy and the other a girl. the girls was using the bike and the dude was on the chest press. I continued to observe this floor for a bit longer and then i left the rec.
