Another short post-lunch workout. I note that the gym branch just southwest of City Hall Park has adequate air conditioning, but seems to have misplaced many of the smaller dumbbells. I was down there, after lunch in Chinatown, because I'd been told I could see the waterfalls project from City Hall Park. Not so. [I'm not linking because the site has a rapidly moving rippling-water background that bothered me to look at, and might be dangerous for people with seizure disorders. Google on "New York City Waterfalls" and you'll find plenty.]
The problem with squeezing in gym after my Friday half-days in summer is twofold: it can mean there isn't much time between lunch and gym, and it leaves me balancing my desire to exercise with my desire to have some time alone. I was feeling a little dissatisfied with having had to make that tradeoff [I wasn't up to the gym last night, physically], and in fact abandoned one errand in order to get home sooner. Then I came home and found![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrissa's excellent advice to "have the fun you're having" and not fret about what you're missing. There still aren't enough hours in those Fridays, but this is definitely a useful thing to remember.
