Woman of steel...

[fajrdrako]

I just had a session with my trainer. Those people have no mercy. I mean, she's a wonderful friend and I love her dearly, but I think she has reduced me to rubble and debris.

I hadn't had a session with her since October. I was way overdue for a different programme, she said. All the weights are heavier now. She asked me about my stretches. I tried not to look guilty but she saw at once I hadn't been doing adequate stretches. Now I have double stretches to do. "More options" she called it. Right. And she wants me to do a full minute of the Bridge and a full minute of the Plank. Each time.

Masochism in the name of health and beauty.

Groan.

I will think of Bruce Wayne. I will think of Aragorn son of Arathorn. I will think of Starbuck. Would they stint on their training? Never.

Can you plan a walk that ends in a bookstore? That'd combine the best of both worlds. ;) Of course, you have to be able to carry everything back.

Yes, actually, walks that end in bookstores (or libraries) are a staple of my existence. All that book-carrying is so good for me - or so I tell myself.

I regularly walk to work with a back-pack full of laundry and library books. I do my laundry at work, and the library is only a block away. Since I have been trying to get my rather excessive library book habit under control, I have rationed myself to less than 20 library books out at a time. (I don't generally carry all 20 around at the same time.)

Ever noticed how heavy history books are?

Why are they always so much heavier after the walk than at the beginning?

Gravity changes.

As for carts with wheels: I just had a vision of myself in samurai dress as in "Love Wolf and Cub". Only wheeling books instead of a baby, of course.
