Delicious indulgences
Jul. 11th, 2010 04:15 pmI just spent two+ luxurious hours at the gym.
Gods, it felt good. I ran like the wind on this thing: http://www.amazon.com/CYBEX-750A-Arc-Trainer/dp/B002VL95N4 to some serious industrial music and then did classic squats, calf raises and walking lunges. Then I ran for another half hour on the Cybex, followed by a moderate half-hour of fast walking on the treadmill.
I listened to a couple of classes while I ran, then pushed myself hard to some intense music and felt completely alive.
Working out like this is like a drug. Seriously---it's pure physical/emotional/spiritual heroin, and I can lose myself completely in the process.
This week has been hard and a little lonely---Michael and Trent have been on vacation in Hilton Head Island and I've been at home being a workaholic.
But the luxury of spending as much time as I want at the gym is a sweet, sweet thing.
