Ask for a refund.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been staying up late because I am a moron, and because I&#8217;ve been reading a book on my Kindle 2. I still really like the thing because (as I&#8217;ve said) I don&#8217;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&#8217;t started the next one. And I&#8217;m kind of tired.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that people from the gym aren&#8217;t blogging as much lately. I don&#8217;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&#8217;t work out for me is when people don&#8217;t have RSS feeds (HELLO JAMIE, I&#8217;M TALKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CUPCAKES) or when I&#8217;m counting on someone to talk about the workout before I make some seriously poor choices for lunch. Today&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>The workout at the gym was tough. If you&#8217;ve been following along you&#8217;ll notice that they&#8217;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&#8217;t today, are Advil and Claratin. I&#8217;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&#8217;m thinking drugs might have helped.<\/p>\n<p>We did 5 rounds of 30 mountain climbers, 25 kettlebell swings, 20 medball slams, 15 medball cleans (and I&#8217;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 &#8220;publish&#8221; button on this post. Nice, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so the title doesn&#8217;t make any sense. Ask for a refund.
