Sweat therapy. It works. When your headspace is twisted around in 12 different wrong ways, it’s helpful to get out of it for a bit.
Lifting at the gym, 10 minutes on the elliptical cross trainer, because I couldn’t bring myself to do more. Carrying lots of groceries up the hill (including a gallon oj, and 3 quarts of watter in bottles). Biking up to lawrence hall of science in about 15 minutes (probably 800-1000ft up from current altitude) on my way down to strawberry canyon rec center, where I swam 1000yds with the masters team before I got what I think is my first real charlie horse ever.
It was good. It was helpful.
I want to go biking over the berkeley hills to orinda over the first or second weekend in april with as many people as I can. It’s fun; you’ll like it; it’s a bit of a challenge for those who don’t bike much, but it’s really quite rewarding to do. And then my birthday party on the evening of april 24th.
Woo. Maybe the time between now and my [expected] departure from the bay area really won’t suck. I’ll do what I can towards that end.
dude. did you do all that lifting, groceries, cycling, and swimming in one day? no wonder you got a charley horse. good stuff!
i’ll totally bike with you up the berkeley hills. it’s been a while since i’ve gone on a nice long ride. and ooo ooo! my b-day is in mid-april too 🙂
