Weight lifting with Larry

Larry (a guy from Papa John's) and I were at the Nautilus doing some weight lifting. We were over where the stair masters are, and one of the first things that I did was get on my bike (which I had just so handily brought with me) and I was trying to ride that on the treadmill, but it wasn't going very well. I didn't really know why, but I didn't really care, either. Eventually I got off the bike and the treadmill and I was sitting on some machine (I'm not sure which) and Larry was off to my right using the pull-down machine (the one that's like doing pull-ups, but you bring the bar down to you instead)

He was trying to set the weight on it, and so he put the peg in the second hole down. He tried it out, and we realized that the weights were in 100 pound increments, so he took it out and put it in the first hole. Then after he just kind of sat there for a bit talking with me and some other people, (and I think that one of the subjects that came up was Tara from Merillat) he got up and went off to do something else.

So I moved to his machine, and I was going to try it out, but I got sidetracked with talking to some guy for a little bit, and then I got up and walked over and found Larry. We decided to go walking around through the Nautilus, and so we went through this back hallway that was as wide as the Nautilus itself and sloped upwards as we went. We passed some door off to our left and looked in, but I don't remember what was in there. Maybe some sort of class room or such.

Then as we were walking again, off to our right was Tara doing the "sit and reach" stretch and I said hi to her. Right after we were out of earshot from her, Larry commented on how good she looked, and I told him that what was better was that she had a twin sister. He laughed about that and then we kept going.

Eventually we were in some sort of huge class room that was a lot like a church. We were up in the balcony part, although, he wasn't Larry anymore. He now reminded me more of Urion (a friend of Nick, my step-brother), and I was following him across and out the right side door to wherever he needed to go. He was looking for something for me, I think, but I don't know what.
