When I got home from the gym this evening I wrote the following: The Red Sox didn't make it to the World Series this year, but they did get me to the gym for an hour and a half after work. I left the gym when the Red Sox were down 7-0 in the seventh inning. Then I raced home and glued myself to the foxsports live gamecast so I could watch the last three innings. Boy was I wrong. They came back; they won; they are still alive! And they still got me to the gym! Even though Thursday is my long day (10 hours) and I usually don't make myself go to the gym after all that. But after spending only 40 minutes of the last week working out, I knew that I had to get some workout time in. And it helped that the Red Sox game was playing only on TBS, which I don't get at home. So my only options were to go to a bar and watch the game, thus eating a large amount of fried food, or go to the gym and burn off calories while I watched. From now on, I promise to believe.Tonight was the first time in a long while that I have been to the gym and didn't run. Well, I mean to Gold's, because of course I do other things when I go for the classes. This evening I walked hills for 45 minutes and then I went over to the bikes for 45. I got a good workout on both. I have been pretty sore all day from Body Power yesterday. So any walking or biking felt like I was working really hard. Now I am happy for the Red Sox win, happy because I got 90 minutes of sweat-time in and am wrapped up in my electric blanket!

it makes me sad when you call it body power because I'm just reminded how they stole our classes from us
I can't believe a red sox fan would ever give up before it was officially over - maybe you're not as big of a fan as I thought.
Perhaps I exagerated my giving up. What I meant is I left the gym, assuming they had lost. But, I did point out that I raced home (using the extra long seventh-inning stretch to get there) and got on the internet asap. That's the most I could do, besides going over to Legends to sit by myself. I mean, I couldn't stay at the gym from 8-10:30 when it was really over anyway. And, I waited to post my blog until the last swing... I must have had some deep belief that they wouldn't disappoint!
