I was up early (because of the cat), showered, and heading out to the gym and a doctor's appointment. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude was walking with me, just to walk.
We saw a great blue heron and two egrets on the salt marsh, with a third egret perched in a tree. Also the usual coterie of ducks. I was most of the way through the park when I realized I had left some essential paperwork home, so we headed back, by a different path.
Then we spotted an eagle. A moment later, there were two eagles circling, then three. We stood and watched them for a nice long time, until one flew off to the south and the other two spiraled back north.
Some of you may consider this pedestrian, but I live in New York City and had never seen three bald eagles at the same time before.
The gym itself went okay: I upped weights on a couple of machines, didn't do well on the crunches, and had to stop with enough undone that I could go back tomorrow and have a fine workout without repeating any weight work from today.
Cardio, 26 minutes, top heart rate 153
Calf machine, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Bench press, 60 pounds, 2 sets of 10; 55 pounds, 9
Seated leg curl, 90 pounds, 3 sets of 10
Triceps pulldown, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Crunches, 2 sets of 20, then 12 (in the third set my form was off and I wasn't using the right muscles, so I stopped)
Back arches, 2 sets of 16
Stretches
Leg press, 180 pounds, 2 sets of 13
