Yesterday I ellipticized thirty minutes prior to classes and a full hour right before bedtime, which is the most I have ever done in one day. Because people crowd the circuit and weight rooms, I have avoided them, but I suppose if I want to make more headway, I ought to hobble my flabby self over there more often.
Now that I've built endurance somewhat and have established a semblance of routine, working out has become less of a trial. "Like" is too strong a descriptive word for this ellipticizing business, but I do feel better afterward. I enjoy playing racquetball, especially as it requires little major exertion, and would like to add Rebekah and Jenni to the group for mehr Spaß. Taking also the swimming class Tuesday and Thursday evenings this fall ought to nicely supplement my other newfound athletic activities. Ja, ich mag mich krank.
At the food court, Rebekah caught sight of me getting a drink- she returned from the K-hole for summer school, but we had not seen each other this entire time, for we both busy ourselves with Schule und Arbeit. We ate mushroom pizza and discussed our anxieties for about half an hour before parting, she to study and I to avoid studying. I mentioned I had contemplated the consequences of taking off a semester somewhere prior to graduation, if only to rest my over-wearied mind. Alles tut mir weh. I probably won't, but the thought did occur to me for more than two seconds...
