Mariah took a few deep breaths as she held the weights during her squats, bobbing her head to the music that was streaming out of her earbuds. She looked around the gym, then refocused on herself in the mirror, making sure to keep proper form. The brunette made her way over to treadmill and started a 2 mile jog, her ponytail bouncing up and down as she ran. She heard the door to the gym open and looked over, giving them a smile. “Hey, I’ve seen you around a few times. Come here often?”
Ash had started to frequent the gym more regularly than usual. Although she’ never particularly liked the concept of working out in close quarters with mostly strangers, she’d rather distract her restlessness without the threat of frostbite. The last thing she expected was to be greeted when stepped through the door, so she actually stopped in place for a moment, blinking at the brunette in surprise. “Uh... not really. I’ve never been much of a gym person, but the weather’s not exactly prime for outdoor runs right now.” After letting the door shut behind her, the redhead brushed the loosely tied braid off of her shoulder and walked over toward the next available treadmill. “And you?” she asked as she scrolled through her music for something exercise appropriate.
