gym and company

[redbird]

Another shorter-than-desired workout, but this time it's the MTA's fault: they're doing trackwork, and took far longer than I'd planned on to get me downtown. Even if I hadn't been meeting roadnotes for dinner, my gym closes at 6 on Sunday evenings.


Cardio, 22 minutes, top heart rate 145

Bench press, 50 pounds, 12, 12, 10+3
Seated leg curl, 80 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Adjustable row, 110 pounds, 3 sets of 15

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 16
Yoga tree

Triceps pulldowns, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Lat pulldowns: 72 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 60 pounds, 8 reps

Stretches


If I'm so inclined, there's enough for another workout tomorrow
cardio again
Hip adduction and abduction
Maybe the assisted chin-up
Bicep curls
Lateral raise
Wrist curls
mat work again

More likely I'll wait till Tuesday, and give priority to the stuff I didn't get to today.

I met Roadnotes at Mingala, and we had fine Burmese food (ginger salad, "pepper duck", which is with bell peppers, not spicy, and superior seafood dumplings with basil. Both main dishes came with plenty of snap peas, broccoli, and other veggies; the pepper duck includes asparagus) and talked. Catching up a bit, and bouncing ideas off each other; there hadn't been any major news to report, on either side.

For the trip home, I took the IRT (#1), because the service changes seemed less annoying than the ones on the A. The 1 is an elevated line at the north end, and the detour to the end of the line gave me a wonderful view of a pink-and-blue sunset sky. I called cattitude from the station to make sure he went out and saw it (our windows face east); he then met me, we stopped to smell some fine roses, and here we are.

The sunset was beautiful down Ninth Street here in the Slope, too. Vincent, from Barbes, came in and suggested that we come out and look at it, and it was wonderful.
