START OVER.
I'm not too proud to admit that I let this chaos consume me and drag me down, and let's be honest, gave me the perfect excuse to say "screw this, I'm just too busy!" Ugh. Oh and I am no longer lecturing at the University since all this happened. Which pisses me off, too.
Now that the semester is back in full swing and I have a bit of a routine I've been adding in gym time. Right now I'm concentrating on cardio. I'm hoping that it will prepare me for running again when weather permits. And, I'll be honest again (what is with me today?!) I'm a bit gun shy on the ol' running game. My shin splint, my tendon strain... is somebody trying to tell me something? I bought new running shoes. Which, apparently, if you under pronate you need these little plasticy (?) web things in the arch of your shoe for stability. The shoes with supportive, plasticy, web things also happen to be the fugliest shoes man has ever made. Oh well, nobody is judging me on the aesthetics of my footwear, and if they are, screw them. I bought some
My routine as of late consists of 30 mins on the elliptical (on a weight loss interval) and 30 mins rowing on the row machine (with a resistance at the highest level). Right now I'm burning around 600-620 calories per hour, which I suppose is good. Beats the hell out of sitting on the couch, am I right? But I have sorta fallen in love with rowing. I think I would be good at actual rowing or crew. I have strong legs, I like the constant rhythm, and it's an outdoor activity. Who knows if I actually would be decent at real rowing, but I like to pretend I'm an untapped Olympic potential.
Well now that we've gotten reacquainted, blog and blog people, let's restart the journey together, shall we?
