Gym and Chocolate

magidLast night, thanks to Cthulhia, I finally managed to do some real exercise. Now that my hand is mostly better (I'm still working on strength, but have been graduated from physical therapy; only 16 sessions...), I really have no excuse to be so sluglike. I haven't done much but walking...
Cthulhia had a 3-day pass to her gym in Porter Sq, and was nice enough to give it to me. So last night she took me with her. I haven't been in a gym in years (relying on the bike for fitness), and this one is much nicer than the ones I'd been to before. I used an elliptical cross trainer, far too quickly reaching the target heart rate (:-(, then some stretching out (so sorely needed). The weight machines were tempting (there's always tonight or tomorrow...), but it was latish for me to be exercising, so I went down and tried some things I've not done before, following Cthulhia's lead: hot tub, sauna, and steam room. I think I prefer the hot tub; the others are just a bit too hot for actual enjoyment (I don't much like August weather, either).
After the gym, we went to Burdick's, for a long-delayed hot chocolate outing. Peak chocolate experiences happen there....
