Strong like bull!

I'm back from working out!  Sure enough, I was a little bit hungry and draggy by the time I even arrived at the gym, but I still managed to do all the different exercises I'd planned to.  And I even walked home afterwards (a distance of...three or four miles, maybe?).

Even though weight training is hard work, I love how I feel right afterward.  My muscles are making little inaudible "pings" now like a car engine cooling down...they're exhausted and wrung out, but happy.

p.s. The new running shoes I bought are ludicrously huge and white.

Sadly, I know that at some point in the next two days my bodily euphoria will wear off.


I'm gonna try to stave off the worst of it by taking a hot bath and making sure I get lots of sleep tonight.  I also have a supplement called glutamine that helps muscles heal faster, but the best-before date is years past.  I think supplements simply become less effective once they've expired, but what if I'm wrong and I take some of the ancient glutamine and it makes me grow a third arm out of my chest?  I'd probably better just stick with hot baths and sleep.
