Life in the hotel continues on. I found a room to rent in Amherst for the months of July and August. The landlords are students at U Mass., Amherst. I did look at another home but it just wasn\u2019t a good fit for me. This week or weekend, I\u2019ll need to purchase sheets, some sort of blanket, pillows, and towels so that I can wash them this weekend and leave the hotel next weekend with clean stuff.<\/p>\n

The job is keeping me busier than I care at this point, and it\u2019ll get busier as time goes on. I have not been exercising as much as I should, but laundry is getting in the way. I have just two pair of running shorts, and they are awful when I\u2019m done. Definitely a 1-workout pair of clothes. So, without spend $2.50 on a load of laundry for just workout clothes (and an hour of my time), they just don\u2019t get done as often as I\u2019d like. So, I have a new effort that I am considering. In case you want to try it on your own, you can find the link here:

In just 6 weeks, maybe a few more weeks if you need to repeat a couple of weeks, and you can do 100 consecutive pushups. I think that would be a cool goal. For some reason, I think that I\u2019d be really sore for the first two – three weeks, and would be quite tempted to give up since I actually need to be able to type all day long to do my job.<\/p>\n

At least my reading is back to something healthy:

I am ready to get back out there and start running again. My goal is to restart, in earnest, when I move to Amherst. The streets are flat, with sidewalks or paths, and lots of others doing the same. The thing that I love about living in a college town is that there are so many more people that are athletically minded. I drove past a 60 year old the other day, biking down a street. His calves were amazing \u2014 so muscular! My guess is that he probably bikes everywhere for about 5 months out of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
