Not Dead

Jun 11, 2007 23:57

I am apparently more than not dead. I'm even have the cardiovascular endurance to run a mile without stopping, which is new for me. I'm hovering at about 8 minutes and 30 seconds at present, which while not great, is certainly far better than passing out from exhaustion at the half-mile mark, which is what I'd have done just a few months ago.

Is it a discounted membership rate or a discounted one-day rate? nekomata and I are interested, of course.

If it's not a discounted membership rate (which I think it is), then it certainly is one of those "if your friend joins, you get $25 bucks worth of membership rate credit" things. The one-day rate is free to friends of a current member.

I'll check this evening when I go to the gym and make sure, however.

Glad to hear the gym stuff is really helping. I know exactly what you mean about the running, I had that experience on Saturday morning, when the gym was closed, and discovered I could run jog at a measured pace for 28 minutes when before if I ran for the bus I was winded for the next 10 minutes. Are you hovering at an 8 1/2 min mile, or 8 1/2 minutes of jogging before having to start? If it's the second, I suggest you try to keep going - the first 10 minutes suck the most in my experience (schenker28 says the same) and usually if I keep going I find I start to feel better. Just a thought.

I've got my doctors appointment on Friday, I'm hoping for a good bill of health. ;)

I wouldn't get your teeth whitened, personally - I've never noticed them to be particularly egregious, and books and/or other wedding stuff might be a better investment.

It's an 8.5 minute mile. I generally do a solid 24-27 minutes of cardio before lifting. I hear you about the wall at about 8-10 minutes. It's a pain. :)

I'm interested.

Can you give me a call tonight to talk about the info?

Re: teeth whitening - perhaps you should ask the bride? I have a guess as to which side she would come down on.

Please do not use "not dead" and "cardiovascular" in the first line of an LJ post again. You just about gave me a heart attack.

Heh. If that doesn't fit the definition of "irony" to a T, I'm not sure what does.
