Most miserable workout I've had yet. AC at gym was shot, everything
felt stuffy, and someone had just cleaned the ladies locker room so the bleachy
smell started my eyes and nose going. On the bright side, I went and I got my
SportBrain calibrated.

Went to Bally's
this morning to try to escape today's 92 deg heat. No dice. Even that early it
was still 86 deg. And it's all smokey because now that summer is here the state
is on fire again. Sigh. On the bright side, I took my mini radio mom gave
me. So light! Barely bigger than the sportbrain. I listed to the classic rock
station and someone out there likes me because the first thing I heard was Ice
Cream Man. I hadn't heard that in a while. So I started thinking about ice
cream, sorbet, popsicles, sex, slurpees, beaches, cool swimming water and more.
Free Bird got me through the horrible part where the incline has gotten
to the highest point and Jimi Hendrix brought me home. Then I packed it
in and got the heck out of there before the gym started smelling like many people's
armpits!

Informal exercise -- flea marketting, bowling,
etc. Sport Brain says we did 3 miles. Having trouble with my tracker -- it's not
picking up all my steps.

Turns out one of the contact on my sportport where you stick
the sportbrain to send data is broken. Now I have to see about getting it repaired.
Informal exercise today? 1 mile. Fundraising is stalled, I have to try to
figure out who I can ask for more donations. I've tapped out my family for now. Dietitian
stuff is going ok, and I'm down 9.5 lbs in 10 weeks. While it averages out to
almost 1 lb a week, in real life it hasn't happened quite so neatly. There was
a whole month in there where nothing happened at all -- frustrating. Endoc. appt
in a week or so for more tests. I've been kind of queasy lately and I don't knwo
what that's all about. Summer is here, and the temps are staying in the
low 90's. It's the pits, I'm not happy, and I probably won't be happy again until
fall brings better temps. This is going to be a gruesome summer for training.
