I went to the Y yesterday and today after work. I think after work is going to be my default workout time. Mornings don’t really suit me. Working out in the morning means I need to cast off my comfy pajamas extra early, and that just ain’t happening. Also, working out and then eating a meal makes me tired and sleepy.

But…going straight to the gym after work could definitely work. I just need to throw my bag into the car in the morning, and go straight there (if I go home for my bag, I won’t leave to go to the gym). It feels good to run around after a mostly sedentary day. And most days, free on-street parking goes into effect right around the time I get to the gym.

Today I did this workout again. It’s simple and fast and challenging enough for now (plus I found out that I really like sprinting intervals and want to do a lot more of them – weird!). I’m going to try to do it 2x a week for 3 weeks or so. In addition to those 2 workouts, I’m going to choose a third day each week to do something else physical, preferably something newish and/or stimulating. Like maybe I’ll actually check out the Y pool one day, or go for a hike or a bike ride. The idea is to get slowly back into my natural state of moving around regularly without worrying too much about routine etc.
