Hmm, maybe the aerobic workouts aren't so bad after all
My mom emailed me earlier that the police chief when I was growing up small town Oklahoma had died suddenly of a heart attack.
That made me resolve to go on to the gym, even though I'm really draggy and lazy today.
While at the gym, wondering if I shouldn't just cheat and bail on the aerobic workout a little early, news flashed on the screens that Tim Russert had died suddenly of a heart attack (at age 58).
I decided to push on through the aerobic workout.
The gym has been eating up a lot of time since the float trip: 30 minutes of weights followed by 75 minutes of aerobics every other day, followed by 45 minute of just aerobics on "off" weight training days, with one day per week off altogether. The aerobics are hardcore, high end of the target zone stuff, not the walk on the treadmill/talk on the cell phone for 20 minutes variety that so annoys me.
I've also tried to change my grilling up the last few weeks so that I'm going about twice as much chicken/fish as red meat on the trusty Lodge. With plenty of Greek salads to go along with (and red wine).
Needless to say, all of this is consuming quite a bit of time that has often been spent blogging or podcasting or tinkering. The bike time has resulted in more reading, so that's good. And if it helps to head off dropping dead of a heart attack at a too-young age, that's definitely good.
