I'm off to the gym. Time to see what my calves max out at, because I still haven't found their limit, and I'm starting to think that maybe I have superhuman strength.

Yesterday, I went for a run around the park, did an advanced pole dance class, and walked up 14 flights of stairs. And then had a bowl of ginger ice cream and some popcorn. Heh.
Pole dance class was permeated with brutality. My skin screamed in agony at some of the grips I did. One is called Superman. Here's how it works. Put yourself in a plank position, with the pole jammed tight against your crotch. Raise your legs and cross your ankles so your legs are level with your torso, squeezing tight with your thighs on the pole. When you have a grip, the arms come off the floor. OMG-PAINFUL-OW-OW-OW!!!! I have the strength, but not the pain tolerance to do that hold. Jiminy cricket....
I am still quite perturbed at my birthday. How the hell did I get that old? 39 on Friday? Ridiculous! I don't feel like Jack Benny. I still feel like a twenty-something. Obviously, there is something seriously askew with my timeline. I still want to enter a bodybuilding competition before I turn 40.
Ok. Time to get to the gym. I have a workout buddy, for once. Hello, Syndi!
