Today was a little rainy so I went to the gym. It was my first time back in almost three weeks. I was quite stubborn about the idea of lessening my routine due to having been away and just having gotten over a nasty bug, so my asthma did kick in a little here and there. My lungs are still not 100%, and I'm so tired of it.

Anyway, I did one hour on the Arc Trainer, Hill Interval program, Level 10. While on the Beast, I watched this Dance Mom's reality show that I've been watching for what seems like forever (plodding through the seasons). In this episode an underdog dancer, Chloe, got chosen to be the star of a music video by Lux, an up and coming pop star. In the video Lux falls asleep and starts dreaming about her younger self who is played by Chloe. Somehow it was so moving I nearly cried.

Then I did an hour of yoga, stretching, weightlifting, and abs. The gym was surprisingly empty for a rainy day, and I loved having all the space and equipment to myself. The highlight was when the gym speaker played "Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes. That was a favorite of mine as an 80's child.
