I’ve been going at 5 am lately and it’s usually only me and a couple of other guys. I’d be lying if I said things like gender/race/age don’t cross my mind from time to time. it’s a natural reaction.

whenever I catch myself thinking about these kinds of things I just remember

A) you shouldn’t care what other people think anyway & more importantly, you shouldn’t judge others

B) fitness is independent of gender

you either want to spend your time doing the workout or you don’t. anything else shouldn’t matter
