And… last night I realised how horribly unfit I am. I spent an hour in the gym last night and will again tonight, and probably tomorrow night as well. I cycled (I must quit the cardio) a whole 7.5km or so, that was the easy part, but the free weights absolutely killed me (which is good I suppose). I was like one giant piece of jelly Gavin, most of my muscles were weak and trembling after my gym session, so driving home as exhausted as I was was quite an experience, one that I need to get used to pretty quickly.

Surprisingly though, I’m neither stiff nor sore today, though some of my muscles feel a bit tight, so I will probably start really feeling it tomorrow after my second session. Considering how tired I was last night, I’m also quite surprised at how not tired I’m feeling today, which is quite nice — I still woke up very tired this morning, but I’m hoping that will go away with my gym training.

I’ll probably end up in the gym 5 times a week, see how hard I can push myself and hope that I don’t injure anything. I’m really glad that my left knee didn’t bother me at all, because it was pretty sore a few days. Hopefully I won’t develop any permanent injuries there because joint injuries really suck; my motorcycle accident really showed me how bad a knee injury could get. I was really lucky to only come out with a split knee and lots of bruising. Though I still think I’ve damaged something under the kneecap (I hit it pretty hard) but nothing showed up on the X-Rays.
