Some combination of feeling better and impatience took me back to the gym. I lowered the weights or repetitions on a few things, and cut the cardio way down: but that was partly because I got there and discovered I didn't have an exercise top, so worked out in the long-sleeved jersey I was wearing.
Cardio, 10 minutes, top heart rate 148 (I coughed a little during this, so limited it to a basic amount).
Calf machine, 30 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Bench press, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 12
Seated leg curl, 75 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Tricep pulldown, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Hip/leg lift with physio ball, 3 sets of 15
Xpress line
Wrist curls using dumbbells (I couldn't find the handle I use to do it on the same device I use for the triceps stuff): 10 pounds per hand, 8 reps; 7.5 pounds per hand, 10 reps
Stretches
I still had to pause some to catch my breath and stuff, but I did what feels like a good workout, and it's very good to be back to it.
Afterwards I went down to Chinatown for lunch, and picked up asparagus from a street stand (two generous bundles of thin stalks for a dollar!), chicken, and pickled ginger. A cold morning has turned into a perfect Fall afternoon.
