So I went out with the ball today. My original plan had been to go to the gym, but by the time I got there the main gym had already been set up for the event at 13:00. I guess in future if it's listed as 'free until 13:00' I should get there at 07:00. Then again, they may even have set it up last night. It's hard to say ( Read more... )

I'm the idiot who has no concept of what day it is. It alternates, really. I did all kinds of Friday stuff today, then wasted like 15-20 minutes in the Classics/History department waiting for a prof whose office hours I'd read were on Thursday, 'cause I'd assumed it was Thursday. I'm thinking this is just a sign of a tired brain or something ( Read more... )

I'm heading to the gym in less than half an hour. I'm thinking about a forty-minute bike ride, and then some lunges and balance stuff at the clinic. I don't want to do weight training to do, in light of the biodex strength testing tomorrow. Best not to be fatigued ( Read more... )

My knee is embarrassingly tired. No, seriously. It's got some crap June-ish flexibility to it right now, and is just aching. I'm thinking two more ibuprofen (I took one, hoping that would do it), and I guess I'll just have to commandeer one of the roomie's ice packs, 'cause I wasn't on the ball enough to put my own ice pack back today for it to be ( Read more... )

Okay, so going to the gym today was awesome. The rest (i.e. not doing weight training or running every day) that occurred while Sarah was here must have done me at least some good. The quads are doing great, and even the hamstrings put up a might performance ( Read more... )

(Hah. That subject heading could as well be pinned on a post about Obama's inauguration. But I won't do that. Part of me does want to know if there will be some sort of issue, later on, about his not being inaugurated until after 12:00pm, Eastern time - unless my clock was seriously off. Anyway ( Read more... )

Well, I have finally convinced myself that taking ibuprofen and putting a bit of muscle rub on a very tired knee is not really 'giving up'. I had a good (stationary) bike ride today, and my legs feel looser for it, but the knee insists upon being tired. I'm thinking I've just run into one of those 'plateau' times, and am going to have to deal with ( Read more... )

I did lots of work yesterday, which still only amounted to some Greek and reading Herodotus. But I also did running. I managed to get all my textbooks for the year, so they will all be on the same credit card statement. That is good. And it only took the bookstore a week and a half to get everything in! ( For me, at least. )

Got to the gym around 09:40 today, where I did a quick warm-up on the bike (seriously, like five minutes only) and then lifted heavy things with specific muscles. Did a bunch of balance work at the clinic as well. The Fitter went very well. Usually I have to pay specific attention to keeping the motion even, and still have to do corrections, but ( Read more... )
