Life Musings

I want to go for a nice, long run.

Or rather, I'd like to engage in a long bout of varied cardio exercises. I'm thinking an hour on a treadmill, half an hour on an elliptical trainer, then maybe half an hour of floor exercises. I could really use that. If I can get some reading done during that period, all the better. Or maybe watch "24" on TV.

I'd also love to spend a few hours in intensive resistance training. I'd love to be as physically fit as some of these American Gladiator types. Or maybe an Olympic gymnast. I can't do that and focus on my studies at the same time, though.

That's why I wish that I were more genetically blessed. It's a small wish though, not one that's worth obsessing over. I figure that we just have to make do with what we have. That's why I take the stairs instead of the elevator, and why I don't mind hauling a heavy laptop bag around. It's all necessary and useful.

But dang, if I could do the sorts of things that an Olympic gymnast could do, I'd be very pleased with myself.
