Once again, I've stopped off after working out to run errands, and gotten drenched. Unlike a fortnight ago, however, I didn't overdo things, and my foot is okay.
I did a somewhat abbreviated workout, and tried not to push myself, because it had been a couple of weeks, and because my heel is still tender.
Meanwhile, I continue to dither about my high school reunion.
adrian_turtle has helped by pointing out that we're all New Yorkers, a lot of us are still living around here, and being unemployed isn't that unusual. I emailed the person who's organizing a get-together at the Oyster Bar tomorrow (separate from the Sunday breakfast-assembly-et cetera at the high school) and said to list me as "Vicki+1" because, assuming I make it, I'll be bringing a partner. (The final decision is going to depend on, among other things, the state of my foot.)
Workout details:
Cardio, 21 minutes, top 161. I'd like to get back to 33 minutes, but the heart rate is pleasing. As I was finishing, the woman at the next bike commented that I'd done well, including "a lot of weight."
Chest press, 70 pounds, 12, 11
Tricep extension, 50 pounds, 12, 8
Calf raise, 75 pounds, 12; 70 pounds, 12, 8
Row, 80 pounds, 2 sets of 15. My right shoulder hurt while I was stretching after the second set, so I didn't do a third.
Leg press, 300 pounds, 12; 250 pounds, 15. This may not have been the best idea of the week, but not only is the weight work generally addictive, I was missing this specific machine.
Balance ~fly, 50 pounds, 15 reps with each leg forward
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg} [I'd neglected to write down these three, but they're the closest to invariant of my workout, so I can do it from memory.]
Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15; 3 pounds each hand, 15. I didn't slip off the hemisphere at all this time.
Bicep curl, 25 pounds, 3 sets of 25 (not the 15 I wrote down)
