I showed up at the gym today and the first thing I did was look in my wallet for $10. There’s a $10 fee for late cancelations. It’s all group classes, and the classes are usually pretty full, so there needs to be a penalty for taking up a spot. In any case, this is a sleepy week for me and I’m craving a nap about the time class is starting. As soon as he saw me, THMFIC handed me another book to read so I knew I couldn’t leave.

THMFIC agreed that I should probably have canceled due to fatigue and coming every day so far this week. I didn’t do all 5 rounds of push presses in the strength part of the workout, but I did fine on the workout of the day. 10 dumbbell hang snatches on each arm, 10 pushups, and 10 situps for 12 minutes to see how many rounds you can do. My initial lack of motivation, though, made me THREE SITUPS SHORT of one more round. We only count full rounds so that means 8 rounds instead of 9. 9 is as many as I saw anyone else do, and I was so close.

So another book to read from THMFIC meant that I couldn’t ditch class and I had to stay and mop, which is something I do anyway. I think it helps develop the abs, or at least that’s what I tell myself. It tires my shoulders as well. But the worst part about getting another book is that it delays my Kindle 2 purchase just that much longer. It’s not really that much of a negative, because I’ll read almost anything, which is the curse of the English major.

Maybe I need to stay in all weekend reading. And napping. That sounds pretty good.
