It's me again. Listen, we're getting back into the Working Out Thing, and I thank you for letting me actually feel good enough to exercise again ( Read more... )

Got myself a shiny new gym membership at Boston Sports Clubs (thanks to the Workbar group rate - score!) and managed to try a Zumba class for the first time ( Read more... )

How did the girl who managed to convince herself that this poly thing would never actually work for her manage to meet *two* hot, awesome women one right after the other? And manage to date both without drama ( Read more... )

I can now run comfortably at the pace of a 10-minute mile. Only for 90 seconds, but that was the point.

Today's run started with 30 minutes on the elliptical (damn them for playing a James McAvoy movie at the gym) followed by another 23 minutes of 60-second walk/run intervals. First 10-15 minutes were fine; by minute 22 (the last run) my sides had started buckling up ( Read more... )

It appears that, should I want to start running in earnest, it's important to have a goal to train for, i.e. a 5k ( Read more... )
