The Gym or Weird Things I Miss

I actually, honestly miss going to the gym. My gym closed a couple of weeks ago because of the virus and I'm working from home anyway and it's in my office building. It's not like I was going to drive up there to use it, but I do miss this.

I did promise to not keep blogging about the virus, but it's such a big part of every day life now that it's hard not to talk about it.

I keep thinking about how I'll have to start over on everything. I had just gotten up to 20 pounds on the shoulder press, and I'd bumped my weights up on the triceps and the chest press, too. Those gains will be gone.

The elliptical? I'll be starting all over again there, too after this much time off and no end in sight on when we'll be able to go back. It takes about one week to lose your muscle memory, or so I read.

I've been walking at home, but it's not the same. No gym friends to talk with. No high fives. No fist bumps.

So, yeah, I want things back to normal and I want my gym time and friends back, too.
