I got up and out moderately early (with help from [livejournal.com profile] cattitude--all [livejournal.com profile] julian_tiger did was eat yogurt), and was at the gym about 10:15. I had a reasonably good workout, though I had to curtail a couple of things because of joint complaints. Then I went down to Chinatown for lunch. En route, I saw one woman taking another's picture, with Broadway/Times Square as backdrop, so I offered to take a picture of both of them. Having done so, I handed the camera back and said "Enjoy your visit."

None of the places I walked past in Chinatown had clementines, but I did get ginger root and scallions. Thence, via 181st Street for rye bread, home, for tea and Scrabble.

Gym numbers:

Cardio, 24:30, top heart rate 162. I stopped because of pain in my right knee; considered minimizing the lower body exercises, but didn't.

Assisted chin-up, assistance set at 18, 5 reps. (I hadn't done this one in ages.)
Calf machine, 72.5 pounds, 12, 11; 70 pounds, 11
Wrist curl, 35 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Triceps pulldown, 45 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 40 pounds, 15
Leg press, 220 pounds, 10; 210 pounds, 10. I'm quite pleased to be handling the 45-pound weight plates without much difficulty; when I started working in the weight room, it was a problem if someone neglected to remove one of those plates from a machine I wanted to use.

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17. On the third set, I slowed down and paid careful attention, which I should do more.
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}

Bicep curls, 45-pound bar, 3 sets of 10
Lateral raise, 7.5 pounds in each hand, 2 sets of 15; 5 pounds in each hand, 15
Leg extension, 80 pounds, 10
