The Night Owl Crashes and Burns
The past several nights, I’ve found myself dropping out rather abruptly, wrecking my plans to get some late-night writing done (hence the recent lack of WIP updates). I got an exercise bike not too long ago in a bid to strike back against my ever-expanding waistline. It would seem that ten or so simulated miles has a way of tuckering out a lazy, fat weakbody like myself. Whoda thunk it? ^_^;
I got up to 20 miles in a 90-minute go tonight. I’m sure that has to count for something somewhere. You know, my first time in Japan, I was doing over nine miles a day every day and that was just the day’s commute. If the spirit of adventure took hold, there was no telling how far I’d go. It wasn’t uncommon for me to half circumnavigate the city. This sort of feat proved none too easy to replicate after three years of being out of practice when I briefly returned in 2011. I’d rather not be that shot for stamina again. I’d also like to get back down into the 160s if I can manage it. I swear, just breathin’ the air in this country seems to make me gain ten pounds. It’s not for aesthetics or even so much for health I try to watch my weight, though. The less load on these busted ol’ joints, the better.
This sort of thing doesn’t move the writing along, I know, but my idea is to get to the point where I can be typing while I bike, so I can get the exercise and the writing in. (Now I just settle for overlapping my vid watching and stuff with the biking.)
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about Chapter 14 of Tico3, so maybe I’ll get some of that done tomorrow. Until then.
