Each summer after ever increasingly poorer softball seasons, I think I need to start working out again if I want to keep playing for a few more years. But that's about as far as it gets, thinking about it. Well, I joined a gym last week but i've been sick so tonight was the first night I've worked out. I didn't really need to join a gym, I've got everything I need at home. I've got an olympic barbell set with over 300lbs, an excellent heavy-duty weight bench with the attachments I need and an adjustable dumbbell set that goes from 10 - 50 lbs. Aside from the fact that you really can't get to them in my garage right now because of all junk, I also own a magical chair and wand. The chair somehow teleports me from the front door to it's warm comforting embrace and the magic wand makes pretty pictures appear that keep me mesmerized for hours. So to thwart this evil sorcery, I've joined a gym and will go there straight from work (pretty brilliant plan, huh).
Wasn't expecting much from tonight's workout, it was mainly to gauge where I'm at. It was not a pretty sight, I'm going to have to workout for a month just to get ready to workout. So maybe I won't be as strong as I was when I was in my thirties or even early forties but I would like to be stronger than a fifth grade girl. Maybe I can score some steroids, I don't think they test for that in church league softball.
