After the camp dropoff, I need to take my car for the NYS Inspection. It's only 9:07 am and my appointment is for 9:30. Too early. So I go to CVS to get a few odds and ends like artificial tears since my glaucoma meds dry out my eyes. I get to the auto shop at 9:30 and still have to wait 15 minutes. My car passes inspection. Yay! But now it's 10:30. I'm tired. My eyes are tired. I've been going to sleep too late since my husband is in Boston working nights because testing the equipment can only happen when the terminals are shut down. My son and I went to the Renegades Baseball game yesterday at Dutchess Stadium because it was a Cub Scout event. And we went to the gym on Saturday where he busted a sweat bouncing from the treadmill to the stationary bike to the rowing machine, and then had me help him with some light benching, and the much more difficult inverted rows. Today, when I finally get on the LifeFitness Cross-trainer, my stomach is growling because I'm hungry. Sigh. I had my coffee and oatmeal, but that was at 7 am.
I feel good on the Cross-trainer and log in over 2 miles in 20 minutes. Maybe too good. The gym is crowded. I don't like getting here so late because all the teenagers are awake now. The Smith and two out of three Breaker benches are in use. I'm stuck with the Breaker I hate the most because it's skewed slightly. When I grab the bar it feels heavy and my right shoulder isn't happy. My benching really sucks today. It's not much better on the Breaker Inclined Bench so when the Smith frees up, I amble over and finish my Inclined Benching there.
There are two posses of teen age boys, 13 yr olds and maybe 15 yr olds. Neither group knows how to spot properly or re-rack. I can't wait until school starts. Really. I use the DBs I manage to grab for all my sets because no one replaces the DBs they're using. So they might be under a bench or on the other side of the gym. School can't start soon enough.
When I look at the big clock it's just past 1 pm and I'd really like to leave, but I still have my 2nd leg of cardio to do. I skip RG BB Curls because my forearms are so pumped from regular curls that I've had to loosen my elbow and wrist wraps. I even skip the Torso Twist machine. But I do a full Mat Stretch even though the last set of Dive Bomber Push Ups are really testing my ability not to fall flat on my face. I can really feel them in my triceps today. Oddly, the Pistol Squats are feeling very easy lately. Last year my quads always seem to feel tight and stretched as I came up, but there's none of that now. I like it but I'd like to understand it better. I finish with a set of crunches and then head off to shower. I have to stop off at the store before I return home, and then I'll just have enough time to unload groceries into the fridge before running off to get my son from camp.
Tomorrow is Cardio Day. Yay! Better yet, my son will be at camp so I'll be able to do a full cardio session and then I'll treat myself to a $5 movie, Get On Up. After camp, I told my son I'd take him to see Hercules because it's probably the last week since it's only showing at 7 and 9:30 pm.
