Workout Recap - Week of October 20, 2019
There was something specific in my mind to talk about during this introduction earlier in this week, but now that I'm sitting down to actually write this recap, I can't remember it. Thus, instead, I'll take a moment to say that there's going to be a hiccup in my routines in the near future, since I'm going to be taking a trip to visit a friend in the early part of November. I'm planning to move my next 100 burpee challenge up to this coming weekend to keep that mostly on pa

Length: 439 pages, standard paperback page size, standard paperback font size As I've said before, I'm a fan of swords-and-sorcery. Thus, having overcome my lack of firsthand experience with Robert E. Howard's writing, it was time to fix never having read any of the Dragonlance books.

I was feeling a bit sore during the week, so I cut things down to four workouts. My initial intention had been to go every other day (i.e. Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday), but that was before going out for a special lunch on Thursday. The lunch itself was fine, such as it was, but there must've been something unexpected in it, because I could feel a negative reaction in progress in the time between finishing eating the main meal and talking about getting dessert. That's
