strong! (more gym noodling)

[redbird]

A good workout. Got through three sets on each of the hip ab- and adduction machines (the trick is to alternate, not try to do three sets of one, then three of the other). 28 minutes on the exercise bike, taking level up to 8 because 7 was too easy. Too easy. What a concept. The usual bench press and leg and row and triceps things. Three sets each of the weird arched-back exercise and crunches, again alternating. Stretches. Best of all, three full sets on the leg press, which I hadn't done at all lately, because my knees were bothering me. (set=15 reps, 140 lbs) The theory here is that if an exercise causes joint pain, stop: but I'm familiar by now, alas, with the way my knees ache from that sort of motion, and it felt like climbing stairs, not like damaging them.

A big, strong, tough hobbit. Hooray!

I suppose. I'm also very much not a morning person (oh yeah, programmer and filker, mornings are just not in my makeup) and don't have a whole lot of time in the morning to get things done until the kids are out of the house and on the bus to school (at which point, I have to dash to work)

But I also find that running at night gives me a chance to go over the day's events, mull things over, work things out in my head.

Mornings

Well, for me, recently, mornings have been starting around noon.
