Again, I didn't feel like going last night, so I ended up doing just cardio again.

Elliptical 30 min

You know what the problem with a public gym is? The hygiene level, especially, the one that annoys affects your olfactory system. The one that can be alleviated by (1) a personal use of a certain substance to tone down bacterial break-down effect and maybe (2) by easing out the consumption of a certain allium species--I am not pointing out to a certain demographic, but you can guess.

Hot Tub

As a present for myself, I was in an outdoor hot tub last night, but not after swimming 30 laps, ~10 ft/lap, at the water-heated outdoor pool.

Billy, where's your updates???

Outdoor

Enough with gym confinement, I ran outside yesterday afternoon. The route was along the Guadalupe river at the Ulistac Natural Area. It summed up to between a two or three mile run. It was almost dark and in the high 60s.

Sundays Are Not Just Good for Napping

First and foremost, I admire the guy who posted before me for (unintentionally?) going green.

I didn't work out on Thursday (too tired from working), Friday (too many things to do: packing, lounging), and Saturday (again, too many things to do: moving to the corporate housing, apt leasing, grocery shopping).

Today I tried out the corporate housing's gym. It's better than the hotel's, i.e., more machines, bikes and ellipticals.

Hello World!

Ms. Dr. X decided to start exercising tonight, at her hotel gym, nonetheless. It's been a few months of working out hiatus. She blames that there is not enough time in any given day to deal with the latest happenings in her world: graduating, moving, starting a new (real) job, maintaining relationships (family, boyfriend, etc).

Tonight's flavor:
30 minutes treadmill (alternating walking and running)
3 x 10 10 lbs dumbells exercise
10 sit ups

Boyfriend...your turn...
