Make mine a Madras Curry Powder

Because cross-training variety is the spawn of the beelzebulb spice of life, this week I:

....was subjected to a circuit and plyo workout at The Train Station that was right out of the Army Field Manual (a mere week after the waterboarding workout)

....against all odds, did speed work! and had fun doing it! consisting of 6 sessions of 4 minute "sprints" *cough, cough* followed by two minutes of recovery. Bonus to living in a quaint (read: old) 'hood: lots of large oaks casting too many shadows and too few streetlights to keep a mournful, impatient eye on the watch (a High Gear Enduro. I can't recommend it enough.)

....took in a butt-kicking spin class at the Downtown Fitness Center

....ran through actual, palpable, pooling on the ground rain! (On the downside, this may be a sign of the Rapture--two rainstorms in one week and I awoke this morning to the usually gloomy Marketplace host chirping that the recession is ending.)

....instead of slip-sliding around an "alternatively addressed" individual, steeplechased over an unobservant, inconsiderate, twerpy little skateboarding punk
