gym

[redbird]

adrian_turtle has gotten pretty good at taking care of me, and knowing what that might involve. Yesterday evening, she suggested I go to the gym. I was dubious. This morning, I was feeling a bit down, and after cheering me up in other ways, she repeated the suggestion.

So I went to the new Davis Square branch of Boston Sports Club and lifted weights, and she sat at Diesel with this laptop, drank tea, and did useful things. I pushed myself a bit, and ran out of gym energy halfway through the mat work, but I think I'm better for it.
