The little peeper frogs have been singing full blast for the past several nights. It's a definite harbinger of warmer weather. I've also seen robins running across the grounds and perched in trees that have yet to bud out their leaves. It's warm enough that the back doors to the gym are wide open for additional air flow, and the gym has barely a dozen people in it. I get to choose elliptical #1 and just manage to log 2.8. It's a regular day, so I'm doing the full cardio routine: three cardio sessions and three sets of pull-ups.
I'm so tired by the last cardio set that I can't make it to rep 17. I'm just happy to have made it past a dozen. I know that if I had held back on the cross-trainer I'd have more energy for pull-ups. I was just too tired to fight for two more reps. I really need to go to sleep earlier and log in more than a bare 6 hours. But even on days I get to the dog park late, it's hard for me to sleep more than 6 hours. Until I can't take it anymore and crash on the sofa with dogs on either side...
By the time I get to the Aerobics Room, I'm really tired and the room is refreshingly cool. The Senior Class has been gone for a few hours. And when I get to push-ups, I struggle getting to 25 without feeling my back wibble. To me that's kind of shocking, although intellectually, it shouldn't be. Do 35 minutes of cardio and a set of pull-ups, and everything afterward is cake. Part of me wants to see if I could make it to 50 push-ups and some point I'll probably give that a go. Preferably after a few days off.
Here's a short flick of peepers in case they're not endemic to your locale.
