Lactic acid. Owwie. Totally felt that during split squats. But man, my quads looked HUGE afterwards. Ha ha.

It’s clear my overhead pressing musculature is more fast-twitch than slow-twitch. Man, I’ll have to go down to the bar, if I want to try and maintain a rep range of 15. How emasculating! Or humbling. Yes, humbling. Will increase wide-grip lat pulls, felt easy.

I knocked five pounds off the weight I was using for incline presses, as they’re in the second pairing this time, not the first. Man, that was hard! Not sure whether to lower the weight, or try and grind it out. Probably lower the weight, as 25 lbs may be just right for 4×10. Humbling, indeed.

I was watching myself row in the mirror. It was really awesome to see my entire shoulder musculature (I used that word again) pop out and flex in different directions through the range of motion. I rarely see my posterior deltoid pop out, but there it was when I was at the top of the row. I’m allowed to feel good about myself, damn it!

Rest periods took my breath away, but that’s kind of the point. I didn’t dawdle much between the different pairings, so the lifting went pretty fast. I felt really burned when I got on the treadmill. Even after my five minute warm-up, I didn’t feel like I could hold the pace I did on Monday. So I didn’t. Occurred to me that it would take time for all the blood in my upper body to migrate back to my lower body. It’s a thought.

Saw Loralei when I got on campus. I inquired as to whether Gordo was a gentleman last night. Hey, I’m nosey. I tend to little-sister some girls, and I’m feeling that way towards her. I feel like looking after her. She said she told Gordo how she felt about him. Good. I like Gordo, I really do, I just wish he was more self-aware. I remember the first day I saw Gordo and Loralei in a social setting, it was plainly obvious to me she was into him. But you’d have to hit him over the head with a frying pan to get him to realize that, let alone do anything about it. Reminds me how she’s said she’s always the man in relationships with other girls. And then I pointed out that, in that moment of cuddlage, she was being the man to me.

Oh, and I put my hair in a bun. I want to show Victoria. Because, you know, I want her to see all my buns.

I have too much hair to simply shove under my hat during employment. While I’m very comfortable pigtailing, I don’t feel like dealing with customers teasing me. A bun seems like a modest way to minimize my hair. I HAVE BUNZ.

Broke out my leather jacket today. Not cold, but definitely windy. Found a couple dollar coins in my inside pocket. Score. I rule. I love this jacket. I’ll ask Victoria how the scent is. It smells like leather, which I happen to like. Her nose is sensitive, so I like running scent-related things past her.

Eeep. I believe I have to take an online exam for first aid now. Ew. Pray I don’t fail.
