dragged out of bed

I pretty much had to drag myself out of bed this morning to get to the gym. I'm trying really hard to not let myself succumb to the ennui I was suffering for much of September, especially as I want to get myself fit for the December Ecuador trip. It's hard to get moving when it's so dark in the morning, and still dark when I get back home. Plus it was pouring rain. I succumbed to some weakness in that I drove the car there rather than take my bike. This is yet another drawback of finally getting a car. Back when I didn't have one, I still went to the gym and always took my bike, rain or shine, as I had no other options. Now, I have the option of driving which on a morning like today is an easy one to take.

Anyhow, went to the gym, did 35 minutes on the weird stair escalator thing, read a book, then did chest, upper back, lats, biceps, shoulders, and abs. I'm feeling the upper body tonight.

I feel a bit weird about the weight training thing, as I'm a cardio addict. Not getting a full hour of hard cardio in is hard for me to take, but I don't know how else to budget my time.
