The gym and random musings

I went to the gym tonight. I find that the later I go the more I like it. There are fewer people and for some reason that appeals to me a lot. I have been anti-social a lot lately, Im fighting the urge to isolate myself. Luckily I have some good friends who are usually doing stuff and I am included a lot. That feels pretty good. 

Tonights workout:

I started off tanning for 7 minutes. It relaxes me and warms me up to tan first, Im not sure if there are any benefits, I cant tell much difference in my skin tone or anything but I figure Im getting good vitamin D from the lights. Or something like that.

After the tan, I switched it up and went on the bike. I found an upright bike instead of a recumbent one and it was actually much more comfortable and easier on my knees. I did 1.5 miles in 4.5 minutes. Im planning to hold at 1.5 miles for a bit and then bump it up to 2 miles. That last quarter mile was a stone cold motherfucker, man, my knees were singing the blues. But I am proud of my time and distance.

After the bike I needed to rest my legs so I went into the sauna for 10 minutes or so to sit and relax. All during the bike ride and in the sauna I had the headphones in and was listening to the Johnny B Show, I can only imagine what people were thinking when I laughed out loud for no apparent reason.

After the sauna I went upstairs to my favorite treadmill and walked. I like a certain machine, its the only one with bars to hold that are up higher than the rest of the machines, thats more comfortable to me. I walked 15 minutes and did .7 of a mile. It felt oddly good.

Then it was back to the sauna for 10 minutes to sweat a little more and relax.

I am thinking about going on alternate nights and tanning and then swimming. Swimming seemed a good workout and I think it worked different muscles than walking or biking. I can keep my knee pain under control with ibuprofen, its still hurts pretty bad sometimes but I hope they are getting stronger.

I am now off to watch the latest episode of the wonderful show Justified as a reward for my working out :)


***BDSM talk beyond this point***

This Friday is an event at Klub Layden, a gathering for Littles, Middles, Ponies and Puppies and all other critters. I am very much looking forward to it, I plan to sit with the Littles and watch them color and play, and I want to interact with the critters too. Im never sure what to do around puppies, but its fascinating to see someone get so far into it and the joy it brings them. It should be fun and likely will be written about.
