in the rain

Finally, I went to the gym tonight and it felt very good. I did my usual stairclimber escalator thing, probably for about fifty minutes at a fairly hard pace. Either I'm getting fitter, or I'm stronger in the evenings. Whatever the case, it was a pretty hard dripping workout, plus I added 10 minutes of treadmill running at 6.5. I have to watch my knees though so that is about as long as I can go without fear of busting a kneecap.

Then I did some really frickin' hard abs on the ball, plus the balancing the ball on my legs thing (I may explain it some day), then stretched. It felt really good to stretch, which is something I should do more but don't have time for when I go in the mornings. It's a bit of a tradeoff, with my wanting to get my workout in before going to work, but not having the time to complete all the parts of the workout that I want (or should). In the evening I can just stay and stay.

Anyway, a good evening. Plus I rode there and back, with what felt like a gale force wind blowing in my face on the way home. And rain.
