Having a Rep 2 Protect

This morning when I opened the house, I felt a warm breeze. So, I decided to wear my gym clothes to the gym instead of dressing for the day. Of course, this goes against one of my new rules upon returning to Chicago: no gym clothes in public. Because in Europe, the people frown upon you wearing your "club de sport" outfit en route to the gym. But since I wanted to enjoy the warm weather, I caved.

So of course when I walked into the club, the front desk ladies commented on my outfit. They had never seen me in gym clothes and thought it was odd. On one hand, it was a compliment. It just reinforced why I think it's important to save the gym clothes for the weight room. On the other, I felt somewhat exposed. As a result, I found myself explaining my actions. Which of course means that won't happen again. I've got a rep to protect.
