Back to the gym

I went to the gym today, for the first time since before the bronchitis. I took it a little easy--"easy" is relative, but in this case it means I reduced the weights on everything where that's a relevant concept, and the amount of time or number of repetitions on most things. That also meant I got done earlier than usual: lunch in Chinatown, and shopping at Sahadi, and I was still home by 2:00. On Thursday, I hope to try a full-strength workout.

( one workout, by the numbers )

Addendum: Several hours later, I'm feeling that much-used-muscle soreness in the front of my thighs, but nowhere else. And just realized I forgot to do my end-of-workout stretches. This is why it's a bad idea to finish up on equipment that I can't see the stretch machine from: I'm used to the visual reminder.
