Doofus day -- but a fit one

[semperfiona]

Yesterday evening, I wanted to go to the fitness room and exercise. It'd been about two weeks since I'd worked out there, although I have gone on several mile-long walks with Rosa and/or Tammie in the meantime.

I changed into my gym clothes, jumped on the treadmill, and--excuse me while I am proud of myself and pleased with my becoming more fit--ran one mile and walked two more. Then I was stinky and sweaty, so I went to take a shower. I got all my clothes off and discovered...I didn't have a towel. D'oh number 1. It was in the back of the car. But at that point, I decided to go ahead with the shower. I used a combination of my (clean) yoga pants and a stack of paper towels to (mostly) dry myself. I will state for the record that neither of these is at all efficient for drying one's body after a shower.

After that, it was too late to go to Knit Knight, so I went ahead to the restaurant for Post-String Dinner. A new place this time, Bruno's at Hampton and Watson. Told them we'd be six or eight, was seated at a table, and ordered a soda. After I talked to Keeley and learned that she'd lost Chris, I realized he had gone home to get Tammie, who was carless. Which since I was early I should have thought of. D'oh number 2.

A while after dinner Tammie and I went for another walk in the neighborhood, about 2.25 miles. That means I walked and/or ran FIVE miles yesterday. Go me!!! I'm feeling it today, though. I ache all over.

I like the icon.

Some days, the body responds, but the brain does not engage. There is a Mad Science class where I lift a bubble wand around a child, from the floor to about chest height. Do that three times/child with twenty in a class, three classes in a row, and you will be unable to walk for a few days. I need to get into better shape. I admire you for doing it.

Yeah, you're a doofus, but you're our doofus, and we're keeping you.
