a YMCA branch a mile and a half from my apartment in Chicago – hmmm.

Hmmmmmm.

Sad that I’ve been so inactive while here this summer, away from the city. Barely been hiking – certainly no overnights – barely been biking – it’s about as much as I can muster to take the dog for a walk. And I return to Chicago this weekend, to trafficky roads and no forests or hills. On the other hand, in the city I will be riding my bike every day as it gets me where I need to go – so it’s kind of built-in exercise. Also, walking the dog (rather than letting him out to go run around on his own) is non-optional. But regular, non-transportational/dog-related, vigorous exercise? Not happening yet. I’m still kind of zombified from the meds and it is really pissing me off in a kind of low-key, inexpressive way.

BRAAAAIIIINS!!!

::wonders if she can pull it together for an overnight hike, um, tomorrow::
