Should this count or not?

Last night I went to lift weights in the little gym at our apartments. I had done great(really pushing) on my first machine, and had done one set on the second machine when a very thuggish looking black guy came into the workout room. He passed through while talking on his cell phone, so I continued with my next set happy that no one would be there to watch my struggles. At the end of that set however, he came back into the workout room, sat on one of the 3 workout machines I had left to do, and proceeded to talk on his cell phone. I have never seen this guy in our apartments before, and found it very odd that he was sitting in there to talk on his phone. It just didn't feel right to me, so I left. So here is my question, do I count the sets that I did do on those 2 machines as my exersize for yesterday, or do I count it as a no exersize day since I didn't get to everything??

I used to get a little skitish whenever I found myself working out alone in my apartment or hotel workout rooms, but I'm a big 'fraidy cat! Anyway, I think it was just plain rude that someone would just come in to have a telephone conversation while people are working out whether you were alone or not. There are doors and they can take it outside. A workout area is for working out. -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I have a hard enough time when there are other girls in there w/me, let alone any younger male with jeans, chains, ratty shirt and talkin on a cell phone. When I said thuggish I didn't mean "the hood" thuggish, I meant "looks like he probably carries a knife" thuggish.
