back in the swing

so... i'm getting back in the running groove. trying to move up to 30 miles per week. almost there, hovering btwn 26-28 for a few weeks. i joined S' fitness club so that we can work out together. it's so much more motivating when i have someone to go with me... and it's a good couple thing to do... . we're the anti-dykes. not that the unattractive beer-guzzling stereotype is accurate in general, but i sadly must admit that in michigan it doesn't seem too far from it... although truth be known, the beer-guzzling sedentary stereotype is broadly generalizable here... to lots of different demographics... shit ... all demographics. but 6 months of winter... u can't even blame people. if i couldn't afford a gym membership november to april i'd sit on my ass and drink beer too. now i run and drink beer instead. anyhoo... i've got a knee issue. not pain, but mild discomfort. gonna start doing quad strengthening as a preventive measure. since i joined the club may do an abs class too... i hate situps but if it's part of a class i'm taking there's no convenient escape. really digging the gym membership so far. someone should do an ethnography of a midwestern suburban fitness center, if they haven't already. it's fairly good people-watching, although it doesn't seem like it should be. ok that's it for now. have to wake up early to write that last paper. toodles
