  • gym night la de da

    Is it depressing to go to the gym so much? I read my latest Furst book, Night Soldiers, kind of depressing story set in … some eastern european country as usual. Someone gets kicked to death in the first page. So, did about 5 stations, abs, 25 mins on reclined bike, 12 mins on elliptical,…

  • Individual player best…

    Trying (not very successfully) to sound like a sports announcer. Game yesterday was great, managed to make 2 goals, total of 3 or so points. Including one in the very last second of the play, an assist from Jenn, one of our best players. Well, the game was really fun but of course the first…

  • eating out slump?

    Even though I made some great beef spaghetti, eating out last night just put me in a gross slump. Same thing last Thursday- getting fish and chips just brought me down. Having guests and stuff just shifts your whole plan. Also, realized that haven’t done yoga in a month! Going to gym to swim/lift tonight.…

  • swimming

    OK I finally went out and dared the waters. I had to use the “fast” lane because it was the only one slightly free. Took forever to get my goggles on right, and then I got tired so quickly! I wondered if it was boredom or fatigue, not sure. Did the whirlpool/sauna combo making me…

  • slow, methodical can be good

    I had a lazy kind of workout yesterday, did 10 mins on stair master, level 2, 10 mins on bike, with a high RPM (trying that instead of a slow heavy, doing fast light), 10 mins on elliptical. Did the circuit, did some free weights, did a lot of stretching. All in a lazy kind…

  • the observed workout

    So I went to the gym and my friend was there, shooted/shot (?) some hoops for a while. Then proceeded to have the suckiest workout because, unlike an unobserved life not worth living, an observed workout is not really worth having. I did a total of 3 reps per station. Did some free weights, and…

  • polo fields

    ha, miastaken posted on mom’s site! d’oh! Oh it was so gorgeous at the polo fields. I did another lap (walking fast) just to enjoy the sunset through the cypress and pines. Really gorgeous. My legs were kind of weak, not sure why. Might have pushed the running too much. Doing the standing up on…

  • barn doors, milk the cow…

    Fun euchre night. Brought my lunch again. Rebecca’s cat got cat dirt all over my bed. Friday may end up being laundry/gym night. tempted to go swimming, give my legs a break from running. Walked home from Pac Heights last night, and walked to Pac Heights. The walks felt fine.

  • 3rd Field goal of life

    Yes, I made a goal, my third, but somehow magically fouled on the way to making it so it didn’t count! Ah thrwarted again. This game was far more tiring than any other to date. Might be because of Monday workout, not sure. Kind of stuffy last night, had weird dreams about wearing lots of…

  • not much to write home about

    Nothing much, had a chill dinner last night with some friends, walked about a mile or so home down Valencia corridor. Not much going on. Game tonight, have to keep up the water all day! In the spirit of blogging I will put down interesting links (and since nothing else interesting is happening, and since…
