Killing myself slowly...

elfsI went to the gym today. That's not unusual, but I haven't been updating my gym journal as much as I should. I did five minutes of bagwork for the warmup then turned to doing mostly legs in the gym proper. I did two circuits through: hip adduction (60, then 70), calf lifts (90, then 115), knee/thigh (60 both times), lower back (110), and the new exercise: deep lunges while carrying 25 pound dumbbells in each hand. To my great pleasure, neither the acid reflux nor the trick knee gave me any trouble whatsoever.
Which is good, because I've been kinda worried the past few days. Last week I was home for large swaths of time and dedicated solid hours to writing. When I write, I sit on the floor cross-legged, and the muscles that stretch over the kees were all stretched out, and they were giving me pain and soreness, but it's all good now. I just needed a few good workouts and some solid self-imposed suffering.
