Morning Exercise Companions

This is a tribute to my morning exercise companions.  I am not making fun of them, but naturally in order for me to identify them I have to give my superficial impressions on these people, since I don't actually know them or exchanges so much as a couple of words with any of them.  I actually salute and respect them for being so true to their exercise routine through hot steamy weather, pouring rain, and fasting month of Ramadan.  Please meet my morning companions:

  • Ziko-  He looks so much like Zakaria Azmi and hence the nickname
  • I'm 65 but I'm definitely more fit than you are- If we are taking laps on the same direction, he sure will be ahead of me even if I originally started before him.
  • Daddy Long Legs- He's so tall with really long legs, the DLL story jumps straight to mind
  • Wide shoulders- He's actually cute, but you can pinpoint him from afar with his very distinctive wide shoulders
  • "My mommy is 50 meters behind me" girl- Whether she walks by herself or with a friend, her mom is always 50-100 meters behind her with her umbrella to protect her from the sun/rain
  • Mr. and Mrs. "take a picture it will last longer"- A couple of elderly people who keep staring so hard that it just becomes too awkward
  • Mr. mid-life crisis- He seems to be in his 50s but he dresses so upbeat and rides a red 307 CC with the top down
  • Track and field dude- He takes a couple of laps jogging and then finalizes his exercise at the track and field area
I wonder what kind of superficial nickname each of these people has given me (c:
