My arms ache

Went to the gym with Megan and Heidi; did weightlifting on my arms. I think it'll get better with time. I am working on learning the names of the exercises, not just "the twisty thingy with the cable weight machine". We watched part of the Mariners games while walking on treadmills. Now there's a good deal, go to the gym because they have Mariners games on TV.

I went to GI Joe's after that and I replaced my New Balance 765's since they have been kind of falling apart lately (I've had them for like a year and three months. How often are you supposed to replace sneakers anyway?) and I had a coupon that Megan gave me from the race thingy last weekend. So instead of spending a hundred bucks to replace my shoeses, I spent $65, and I even got the exact same shoes. Yay.

Did grocery shopping, and then called to see if I could come over and watch Queer Eye, except Josh informed me that we got the times wrong, so they only got part of it on Tivo, but it's going to re-air and they can Tivo it then, so hopefully I'll get to see it before D&D on Thursday.

The Mariners picked Jeff Clement, a USC catcher, with their first-round draft pick (3rd overall). I think it's a really wise choice; we need catchers and we need them soon. This guy could be contending for the M's starting catcher job as soon as 2007, some people are saying. I only wonder if a 44-year-old Pat Borders would still be the backup catcher at that point.

I really should cement July 4th plans soon. I really shouldn't keep wistfully looking at plane ticket prices to Tokyo. Sigh.

"I think it'll get better with time."

Definetely. Don't let initial soreness or anything like that discourage you. That's totally natural. You just need to give your body time to get used to this new thing you're doing to it. You might even find that you can up your weight more than you think in the first few weeks, just because you might have some psychological blocks about your capabilities if you haven't done weightlifting a lot. Good luck w/ it! ^_^

Besides, she's jumped into our workouts so its already a pretty tough workout. She's been kicking ass.
