For the first time in a long time, I'm truly looking forward to getting up early and doing some hard core physical labor.
Saturday morning marks my return to Habitat for Humanity . . . and I cannot wait. Truly. I am thoroughly looking forward to getting up, driving into town when the rest of the city still sleeps, getting myself some breakfast and busting hump before the dawn breaks. There's something about breaking a sweat early in the day that makes me feel sufficiently alive.
And when I finish working on Angelica's house for the day, I'll hit the gym and probably go for a swim. Like habitat for Humanity, I haven't been to the gym in quite awhile . . . and I miss it. chronically. My plan is to shower and then hit the sauna. On Saturday early afternoons, the gym is effectively dead -- just the way I like it.
So sitting in the sauna for ten or fifteen minutes is indescribably cleansing. After I sit in the sauna, I usually get in the hot tub and relax again (because I need it) and then to cool off and actually exercise, I jump in the pool and do laps. Tomorrow I might actually do some cycling or some running/quick walking first and some weight training. I actually wonder how much I can still press with my legs. When I was going routinely, it was just shy of 200 pounds -- I might have lost a bit of that by now though, we'll see. Maybe I'll even do some eliptical if I'm feeling ballsy. that machine intimidates me.
Sunday I'm aiming to get my mountain bikes out, clean them up and start riding them. At least two need to be in good working order when the Fest rolls around in 28 days. I fully intend to ride one around Gainesville as my primary mode of transportation . . . not to mention, I promised another one to Jonesy for his mode of transportation. I imagine no one will ask to borrow the third one, but since I'm giving them the overhaul of their lives, perhaps I should do the third one as well?
This is going to be a thoroughly productive and pleasing weekend. I cannot wait.
