crunches

Never in my life had I ever looking forward to do crunches. I did
this afternoon. My PT made me work hard today, brick circuit. I was
spent before I started the session, my muscle had no fuel left, was
running on fume. So 35 minutes into my session, I could not lift any
more weight. Brain issued command, command converted to electric
current thru my spin, to my arms, then no movement. Yikes. I pushed
and pushed and finally DONE! I was hoping to use this session to
purge certain words from my brain after reading them: "outrageous",
"staggering". Crunches. Yes, my final set of exercises. Had to sit
on my butt, raised my legs off the ground and cycle for a minute.
That was tough, I rather do plank. After the minute was up, I had to
do crunches; that 30 crunches was a God sent. I had to do 3 sets in a
row. When I was done. I WAS DONE! Normally, I would walk. Not
tonight. We took a 10-minute taxi ride to our friend's place. She
called earlier in the day and wanted to cook for us. Bonus! Home
cook meal. She made us come to eat then kicked us out. That's the
type of friends I like. Ha!

Now, just finished laying out my bike gear for tomorrow's 100K right
again. I have Gatorade this time. Hopefully, I won't be cramping up
like the last two rides. Weather expected to be cloudy with a high of
16C. We start early. 5:30am. Will still be dark. Traffic light.
Want to bypass that HongQiao airport construction site and the Zoo as
early as possible. Those two places are maddening to ride thru.
Tomorrow is Chinese Lantern Festival so will be nuts out there! Hey,
I can have the nice gluten balls with sweet fillings tomorrow evening
and won't feel guilty. After burning 5,000 calories, I think I
deserve that!
