  • Shortened Gym Visit: Went to the Y on Monday but only had about 30 minutes of workout time. Meg and I stationary-biked about 5 miles. I'm writing this down before I forget to blog about it. I wanted to go work out again yesterday, but got out of work 1.5 hours late. here's hoping for today. (0)

Gym, No More Lyrics

Ok, I'm tiring of the YMCA lyrics. They start to get a little suggestive after the first verse anyway. I went to the Y last night had about 45 minutes of workout time before I needed to get home and try (and fail) to help Meg with her end of marking period grading stuff. I did a mile on the treadmill and some weights, nothing too exciting. I tried to use an eliptical, but either my legs were too tired from the weight training or I'm a really clutz (or some wonderful combination of the two) resulted in me getting tired quickly but continuing for a few more minutes as I tried to figure out how to stop my legs without falling down, or getting hit by the arm-pump-things that were flailing about. Wee. Next time I go, I think it's time for some more rowing machine or swimming.

Google Local Mobile

Go to Google Local, sure that page doesn't look like much in your fancy pants desktop browser, but it has just increased the usefulness of my PDA by about a factor of 5. Sure, it kinda replicates what my Car's DVD nav can already do, but this updated more often, and I don't have to lug around a 1.5 ton specialized DVD player to find where the nearest pizza place is.

What I Learned Yesterday

Yesterday, we had Meg's Dad and my parents over for dinner. Mom also brought dog nail trimmers and helped me trim Penny's nails. I learned a few things:

Next time, we're getting a professional with some powerful anesthesia to do this job.

It’s Fun To Stay At The YMCA

Went to the Y for the first time in about 2 weeks on Saturday. I had slacked off because I was trying to recover from a pretty nasty headcold, and Saturday was the first day that I almost 100% again.

I started off planning on doing a 15 minute run on the treadmill, but my lungs had other ideas. After about 7 minutes I started hacking up all kinds of cruft from my lungs, so running will have to wait for my lungs to decide they are over this sickness too.

I did my normal weight training as well, but was able to add some more reps, which felt good. I also did some inverted sit-ups (not sure if that's the right name, but you lay back at about a 45 degree angle hook your legs into the table contraption and do sit-ups.) Ouch. I was only was able to manage about 10 of those.

In the afternoon I went to the driving range with Gail, Bryon and Meg and hit a few golf balls around. While not exactly a lot of exercise, it did work some more muscles, and I learned how to actually hit the golf ball so it flies instead of rolling off the tee and down the hill. So I got that going for me.

Palm… ok?

My palm came back a few days ago, I think it may actually be fixed. Here's hoping.
