Kindle-free in 2003!

OK, so the title doesn’t make any sense. Ask for a refund.

I’ve been staying up late because I am a moron, and because I’ve been reading a book on my Kindle 2. I still really like the thing because (as I’ve said) I don’t really care what the words are on, I just really like reading. In any case, I figure I should probably get some sleep and not spend the extra hour reading, especially since I finished the book and I haven’t started the next one. And I’m kind of tired.

I’ve noticed that people from the gym aren’t blogging as much lately. I don’t have to do much work to find this out, since I use several programs that aggregate RSS feeds. This means I get headlines from all the blogs I follow in one program. The only time this doesn’t work out for me is when people don’t have RSS feeds (HELLO JAMIE, I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CUPCAKES) or when I’m counting on someone to talk about the workout before I make some seriously poor choices for lunch. Today’s workout, for example, probably should not have been preceded by Huevos con Chorizo. Something chickeny would have been a better idea. Without prior warning, I eat things like fried chicken, hamburgers, and giant chimichangas.

The workout at the gym was tough. If you’ve been following along you’ll notice that they’re usually tough, and this one was particularly bad. Even during the warmup, my head was feeling a little achy and I thought I could have used some performance-enhancing drugs. The ones I often take, but didn’t today, are Advil and Claratin. I’m not seeing that many hay fever symptoms so I figured I could cut down on the antihistamines, but in the middle of the run around the block I kept passing through a cloud of musky pollen. I’m thinking drugs might have helped.

We did 5 rounds of 30 mountain climbers, 25 kettlebell swings, 20 medball slams, 15 medball cleans (and I’ve found a way to make them harder), 10 burpees, 5 knees-to-elbows, and a run around the block. I estimated it would take me 63 minutes and it only took me 33 1/2. It was pretty brutal and I even forgot to hit the “publish” button on this post. Nice, huh?
