Comments: I’m sore and pissed off, and not because of the workout (okay, maybe sore from the workout, now that I think about it). And I’m not entirely sure why. There’s a vague sense of things going to shit and me not being able to do anything about it, but I can’t narrow it down any more than that. But that’s not gym-related, so no more about it.

Comments: No cardio because we had already been in there an hour and a half and I need to get up in 7 hours. Two more weeks after this one, then a one-week break, then… more of this stuff. I’m not burned out by it enough to switch to Westside yet.

I’ve got some training to go through on Thursday morning, and I’m a little worried. Even though there’s probably no reason to be, since it’s training and not something I’m already expected to know. But I guess I’m afraid I won’t pick up on it quickly enough or something. Fuck, I don’t even know what I’m anxious about. That it’s the DM doing the training and there’s more pressure to perform admirably? Bah.

Still feeling pretty damn good from last night, though.

Comments: Jesus fuck. I feel really good about that 225 (and all the extra stuff done tonight!) even though it’s really not much. I don’t know if it’s the SHOTGUN or a placebo effect (maybe both; there is a gratuitous amount of stimulant in that), but I’m actually improving now, and that delights me like nothing else.

On a totally unrelated note, it is 63 degrees F (17 C) with an almost full (bright as fuck) moon and that makes me want to prance around all skyclad and sing praises to the gods of old. I love autumn nights.
