Awesome Summer Non-Workoutness

So, because of my limited ability to row I've been trying out other things :)

Woo!
Anyways, I took a step class a few times, and man, it's a strain on my coordination. It was actually a decent workout if I followed it up with like a half hour of steady state. I took Zumba too, that was mostly just for fun. I highly recommend it. Everyone needs to laugh at themselves every once in a while.

I found this super awesome path near where I live, and I ran for like 25 minutes, it got too hot, and I walked back. I plan on going back, but today I nearly died walking to my car. So, most days I just elliptical/run on the treadmill. I actually don't mind treadmill running, it's not too bad cause it's kinda bouncy rather than the super hard ground. I think this is also a function of my tennishoes being too old.

In other news I tried out a Model E erg, it was weird. It was like, super high off the ground, and you couldn't move the monitor other than swivel it a bit. I didn't like it, but I guess does it really matter? Erging sucks a lot anyways. (For those of you who were concerned, I only went about a minute, just to see if my left hand could take the load... it couldn't. I pulled like... a 2:45. It was sad.)

I've coxed a bit at home, may cox at club nationals next week which means you all should get your butts to Indy.

As far as my other non-lightweight-ish activities go, I drove a half hour out of my way to get fresh doughnuts this weekend. They were delicious. Then, out of guilt, I ate a spinach salad for dinner. They cancel. That's the math behind nutrition. Fact.

Cinci is good, Lizzy is near, and I got to have dinner with Sarah (one of the recruits). I would visit Lizzy more often (sorry Lizzy) but most days I come home smelling like pig insides and I just wanna shower.

Oh, last, a picture, while we're all posting photos of our amazing summers in our unis. Oh, and the other photo is before healing occurred. Again. absurd cast for such a small scar.
