Class was good! Interesting, and not nearly as scary as I had feared. The intersecting of technology and library science is a really big deal right now. There's SO MUCH information out there available via technology, and of course technology is constantly developing and changing. I am getting back some enthusiasm for my chosen field. (I had feared I was losing interest and motivation after the summer school debacle.)

I got a new workout program on Monday. I tried various exercises with the trainer. Some I didn't like, some I couldn't do and some hurt my knee so she would find something else to replace those and we eventually came up with a good total body workout. Tomorrow we're going over the revised workout because honestly, after all the exercises we tried on Monday, I can't exactly remember exactly which ones we picked, nor how to do them all.

Today I did cardio: my usual 10 minutes on the bike and 20 on the treadmill. My legs felt kind of crappy when I ran on the treadmill, and so I only ran for two minutes and walked the rest, some of that on an incline. I couldn't figure out why my legs were bothering me, but I think it might have been that I didn't get enough rest last night. I went to bed too late and then I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep for a while around 3 or 4 AM. I made sure to stretch today, and hopefully it will go better next time.

SupaFreak (who does a fab video blog) suggested I try to refuel with protein when I told her about feeling totally exhausted after a workout. Being a vegetarian, it is sometimes difficult for me to get enough protein, but I have been having more lately, and I seem to be feeling better. Thanks SupaFreak!

Watching: A Cry in the Dark (1988) starring Meryl Streep and Sam Neill. Good movie about a real life very sad miscarriage of justice. (FYI, on imdb this movie is listed as "Evil Angels" which was evidently its Australian title.

The Office, Season One (US). Still watching this and still squirming as we do. ;-)
