Blacked-out blur

Time-wise, the conference isn't quite halfway over. But responsibility-wise, I'm in the home stretch. Gotta get through the signing (12:30 to 1:45 today) and then things are mostly trouble-free. Well, provided the hotel doesn't burn down. Sunday afternoon I take one of our authors to catch her flight home and then it's over for another year.

Right now I'm hanging out in the lobby of the hotel while the morning session of the conference is going on. I like hotel lobbies. Well, nice hotel lobbies, anyway. Is that unusual? I like the people-watching. And everyone on staff here is so nice. I am, however, sitting directly across the room from the coffee shop. It was the only space with an electrical outlet. One week and a day today coffee-less. It's not hard, but it's sad-making.

I'm doing the 100 Push-Up Challenge with shanmonster and noticed something odd the past couple days. Instead of doing just one, two, three push-ups as directed, I've been doing as many as I can without taking a break. I made it up to ten and did ten for three days in a row. Now I'm on day fourteen and the past two mornings I've been able to do only six in a row in good form. Weird.

In case you think I've given up my Sherlock love for Avengers, I haven't, quite.

aaaaaaaaand this:

PERFECTION.

When I went to ALA in New Orleans in 2011, SWS in St. Petersburg, FL 2012, and especially past GenCons, I've spent a good amount of time at all events in the convention center/hotel lobbies. They are great places to take a breather away from the hub-bub, but near enough to walk back in when you feel ready for another round. I'm with you on lobby love.

Well it seems I am in good company, then!

Sitting in front of that you can not have sucks. I wish i could say i have never done that, but have.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

We all have.

I've had days when I could fire off ten or twelve good pushups in a row, and days when five or six were all I could manage. *shrugs* I'm not overly concerned. When the time comes and I can manage 100 in a row, and then only five or six, maybe then I'll wonder what's up. But for now, meh. I just keep plugging away.

And yes, this heat is brutal. My strength and endurance have gone way down.

I can't imagine doing 100 in a row right now. My goal is to be able to do twenty in a row by the time this is done.

I haven't been to Crossfit in nearly a month because I know exercising in the heat (our box isn't air-conditioned) would do really bad things to my body. I'm exercising at home, but it's not the same. =(

My CF isn't air-conditioned, either. I've been doing morning classes, before the intense heat hits, but it still gets pretty hot by the time the workout ends at 10:30. My roommate started an evening workout on Friday, and the second set of burpees in, the heat + exertion got to her and she got the pukes.

My aerial silks class and kung fu class aren't air-conditioned, either. It's brutal.

I'm glad the gym where I occasionally teach kickboxing does have AC.

Ugh. Poor thing.

ROTFL! Thanks

We have identical fandoms, I think.
