Yesterday, Saturday, was Slutwalk Chicago. Several people who said they'd come/were possibly coming didn't get back in touch with me, which was disappointing. Matt did come. He was a bit late, so I walked in the tail-end of the march so he could catch up and find me more easily when he arrived ( Read more... )

I worked out some. I decided to try for endurance on the cross trainer, and went for a 3 mile run. I didn't do too bad, I think, as I usually just run full out for one mile and feel horrible after. I'll admit my I-like-my-numbers-with-patterns got a little irked with my time. 24:22? I would've prefered for 24:24 or 24:42, I suppose. I was ( Read more... )

I'm still not completely well, but it's been itching at me for a while, and it's a way to empty my mind out. It takes time away from studying, which is a bad point, though... I went with a friend though they went to the treadmill. I really get awed by people who can run on the treadmill without needing to hold onto the bars. I need to and the few ( Read more... )

The last time I visited the gym and did a full workout was September 21, 2010. :S I didn't work out at all during the winter break. The Sports Center was closed for some weeks but open for some weeks, but I should have foregone the "It's cold outside, don't wanna walk outside, coooold" feeling. Like I did yesterday. :P The exercise was good for ( Read more... )

Besides the walking I do for errands (pharmacy, mail, library), which I don't generally record as exercise I've been very lax with physical exertions since September. Wednesday evening in my room I used the 3lbs weights Matt loaned me.

I've been sick, then too busy to work out.  But whenever someone mentioned they had worked out, I felt this weird pang in me.  Dunno why exactly.  I suppose I still see working out as a thing that people who are either healthy (I was so sick it would've sapped my strength more, and who wants to have someone constantly coughing or sneezing working ( Read more... )

Well, one good number, but "some good numbers" rolls of the tongue/fingertips more lyrically than "I got a good number today!"

What number is this, you ask?

( Mulan - for the win! )

I went to the gym around 2:30pm as planned, though my friend wasn't there yet. I started my usual routine (one mile track run, 3 minutes cool down, free weights, then machines) but she came up to me midway through my machine set and asked me if I wanted to learn some Pilates moves. I was like "yeah, okay, never learned it before." I was a little ( Read more... )

It's fantastic!

7 minutes 44 seconds!! After 1.5 weeks of not working out (almost two weeks for time in the actual gym), this is pretty far out. Yay!
