Slowly I turn towards physical fitness, step by step, inch by rather uncomfortable inch.

So, in the interests of using every resource my corporate masters have provided for me I've started to make use of the new complex's "wellness centre" (corporate talk for "gym").

The people running it do a little fitness check, and then provide you with an exercise plan. Much excitement. Two days in so far, and I'm feeling a bit sore, which I suppose is to be expected.

Spending a lot of time feeling unappreciated. That's pretty much par for the course.

Last night, Cynra & I went to see The Menagerie on the big screen. Interesting experience. Started off with a short intro by Eugene Rodenberry. The updated FX were nicely done.

Of course, exhaustion made me almost nod off three times, at which point I wept at having betrayed Kirk or something like that.

Here's actual Dialogue from after the film.

Cynra: So, did you like it?

TBG (slumping shoulders and holding mouth agape): Buuzzzz!

"Of course, exhaustion made me almost nod off three times, at which point I wept at having betrayed Kirk or something like that. "

So did I! I woke myself up doing that fall-asleep-and-jerk-awake thing at least twice...and I felt like I'd committed a blasphemy! Who sleeps when Kirk is on the screen!?!

(I enjoyed it, though! I agree the new F/X were awesome!)

The FX were very improved. CGI + The Shat's super human acting ability are a great combo.

I'm feeling a bit sore

If you do it regularly (i.e. two to four times a week), then expect that to last for about three weeks to a month. The good news is, if you last that long, then the habit can become ingrained, and it actually gets a lot easier. You have been warned.

The thing I always found helped with muscle soreness after a workout was, paradoxically, another workout. It's sore to start, but once you get going a bit the muscles loosen right up again.

We'll see how that works in the morning. I'm hoping a nice hot bath will help, too.

Absolutely; after working out, you should spend time stretching, just as you do before working out. This will help muscle stiffness immensely.

Do you mean a short filmed intro, or that Rod was there? Because if I missed him in town I'm going to scream.

How did I not know this was happening?

[thebitterguy]

No, it was a short filmed intro. And I sent you a message on Facebook last week.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

I guess you did. *sigh* I vaguely recall it.

Sounds like fun.

I'm much more LJ than Facebook.

Muscle Soreness

Remembering to stretch beforehand, me droogie?

When I started, I did lat pull-downs, and for a week, my lats burned with an itchy fire that could not be quenched. Then it got worse.

On the plus side, the new bike fits in the Fit without much difficulty, so next season, I can drive down to Milton and tire you out some more! (Or ride, depending on how much I want to kill myself.)

There is this jungle gym like stretching device that I've tried but it honestly scares me.

Warming up is usually a stroll on the treadmill.

Biking would be nice.
