so yesterday i set up the old manual (read: non-motorized!) treadmill, and let me tell you, that fuckin’ thang is like walking up a 60-degree slope! ok, ok, more like maybe ten. but still! right now i can only do about a quarter mile before my calves burn out (wtf?! the other day i walked NONSTOP for damn near 7 miles!). yesterday i did 1.25… today i’m working on doing at least 1.75 (to put me up to 3 miles total, so tomorrow i can do 2.0).
god damn, it’s hot in that greenhouse of a patio. i had to strip down to my boxers, because i don’t have shorts that aren’t either denim or too long.
right now i’m taking a break, because usually i’ll walk that bastard and then do assorted reps with the stretchy cord, and then go back to walking. that way, i alternate burning out my pistons.
(speaking of pistons…) when i exceeded my mileage from yesterday i celebrated heartily ]:)> send $1 & SASE for an “autographed” photo of the festivity.
also… -oh shut up, you know you like it ya lil’ freak!- …also, i dug out some more good CDs, just to take a break from Henry Rollins, although none of them are nearly as pumped-up or frenzied as Rollins Band. Ministry, Meat Beat Manifesto (did i mention i saw them on Hallowe’en in Prague?), and Frontline Assembly are my current faves. any suggestions for aggressive workout music would be greatly appreciated.
