I hate walking
So steal a phrase from a good friend - it's a beautiful day to hate running walking.
Friday, I went along with Sis-in-law to Fernwood, and we signed up. Yes, for the first time in my life I am part of a gym. And given the amount I paid, I am going to use it. So far, I've been three times. I've gotten the feel for the treadmill, which is weird after only having done road and trail walking before. I still can't take my hands off, though, because the moment I do I can really feel the motion of the belt and feel like I'm sliding off even if I'm not. Holding on is fine, though, and when I have my hands on the grips I can see my heart rate, which I've never had before. One of the perks of signing up this month is I get a free Fitbit Alta through redemption. I've sent off my code to redeem, and I get a form in the mail I have to fill out and return. So, hopefully free stuff soon?
Ghostbusters finally arrived today, even though it's been in stores for days and I preordered. I'm relieved, because I was worried I'd miss out on the bonus disc if it was lost in the mail.
Reading:
Galveston by Sean Stewart
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz
Knitting:
An enormous Pi shawl in Iron Man colours for LittleBro
To Knit next:
Another Diagonal Block Stitch Square, this one for my aunt who's having to go into a nursing home
Watching: Leverage with commentaries
To Watch next: Librarians, everything MArvel I've missed in the last year, everything else I still have not got to, Ghostbusters.
I'm tired, and I have new blisters. How are all of you?
