My struggle with lunges
Only b/c I'm a bored little girl...
"LUNGES!" I said to myself, "LUNGES!" After a lengthy run about two days ago, I decided to put my lower-body to the test. After a round on the lower-body circuit machines, I confidently strutted over to the mats and picked up the 8-pound dumbbells (EIGHT POUNDS, I say! EIGHT POUNDS!). Placing one in each hand, I looked sternly into the full-length mirror and took a deep breath. I began my first round of lunges. "Heh, not bad Jen, not bad!" I said to myself. So after a short rest, I began my next round of lunges. Though I found myself breathing heavier, I proceeded with the next set. It was during this third set that I found my pigeon-toed feet dragging on the mat--every once in a while, I would almost trip on the way up. Fatigue has set in. "You must proceed with the fourth set," I convinced my tired and worn body. In addition to my dragging feet, I found myself wobbling from side to side. Each lunge became climb up Mt. Everest. Finally, after four measly sets, I sat down and stretch out. Standing up and walking to the locker room, my leg silently quivered--threatening to give way if I went near any more weights. I had defeated the lunges.
Yesterday hurt--bearable though. So I ran a little more and concentrated on my massively muscular upper body.
Today hurts EVEN MORE. I walk like I'm permanently straddled on a horse. My muscles are crying...crying. The lunges have returned with a vengeance and defeated me instead.
So dramatic, huh? (: On to some events in my life. I went back home to surprise my dad for his bday. I had such a good time at home! Here are some photos:
This coming weekend, Miss Kathy Yang is coming into town!! I created an coughintineraryblahblah for her visit.

phentermine The river of my title is a river of DNA, and it flows through time, not space. It is a river of information, not a river of bones and tissues; a river of abstract instructions for building bodies, not a river of solid bodies themselves.
