I'm up here in Boston with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adrian_turtle. We've had mostly a quiet, domestic weekend. Yesterday, Adrian had an errand moved from today because of the then-approaching snowstorm. She dropped me at a branch of my gym, and I got in a good workout. (I keep a spare set of gym clothes and a combination lock in a drawer here, just in case. This is the first time I've used it.) It was suburban and spacious, but I had to spend some time finding where they keep various equipment. Also, while the rest of the gym was quite warm, the women's locker room was chilly.
This morning, I checked the weather and found "travel is not recommended." I thought about it, and figured I could decide after lunch. After lunch, the MBTA was saying 25-minute delays on all bus routes, which would probably have had me on a 4:00 bus, with either messy roads or lots of crowding, possibly both. And I'd more or less decided I didn't want to be on the roads in these conditions. So I'm staying over, and will take a 7 a.m. bus out of South Station (yes, that means getting up at 5:30; Adrian has to also, to get to work). That should put me at work around noon.
We've been enjoying each other's company. Had a nice walk yesterday while it was still bright and sunny. When I'm done posting this, I will be moving laundry from washers to dryers.
I have also made myself useful by clearing off, and digging out, Adrian's car. In my boots and parka, and a borrowed pair of snowpants, I stayed mostly dry, even when I fell into a snowbank, laughing (not on purpose). I noted that if she's going to date a gym rat, she might as well get the benefit of the muscles. More seriously, one of the reasons I like being strong is that it helps me take care of the people I love.
Cardio, 12 minutes, top heart rate 143
(Technogym) Leg press, 200 pounds, 15; 220 pounds, 15, 12. (I don't know whether it's commensurate with the Nautilus machine.)
Balance quasi-fly, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 15 with each leg forward
(Seated) Calf raise, 75 pounds, 15, 65 pounds, 12 (A machine I haven't used in quite a while)
Biceps curl, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
Balance lateral raise, 2.5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Crunches, 2 sets of 30
Back arches, 2 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}
Chest press, 65 pounds, 12; 55 pounds, 6
A few stretches, on different hardware than usual
