whoohoo!

Today, upped the exercise to 25 minutes, tho I broke it up: 15 min. Pre-cor, and 10 min on an upright bicycle. I managed to get 20 minutes in the 'zone', and I didnt feel like I was going to die.

YAY ME! Didnt have much time this am, 'cause I have meetings and stuff to finish before a doc's appt in the afternoon, so I spent under 40 minutes at the gym. Tomorrow is going to be another day like this, so I figured even if I only manage days like this where I get 20 min in the zone, but I do 'em every other day, I should be in good shape.

(Off to stretch some more!)

hey, [livejournal.com profile] dazedperseus, I'm aiming to do this just every other day, tho I'd like to see how it goes if I manage more often. :)


I ran into a friend last night at a surprise / short notice birthday party -- he used to be pretty sedentary, and a bunch of my college friends seem to revel in that -- but last year, he began running to do a half marathon, and now he's in training for a mini-triathalon -- I was really pretty overjoyed to see 1. how GOOD he looks -- much leaner and healthier looking 2. how its changed his eating habits -- he used to be infamous for eating tons of oreos, and now he doesnt have them in his house.

I could tell how it made other folks uncomfortable, my other tri-athelete friend and he talking. That was interesting.

followed a link off of [livejournal.com profile] daft's LJ... your name is VERY familiar to me but for the life of me i cannot figure out *why*. is your LJ name your real name, and does your last name start with a "K"? if so, i know you, er, i knew you at some point in my 34 years.

i'm not a psychostalker or anything... just perpelxed and trying to puzzle this out.

Yup, Gayathri is my actual name. Did you go to college in Troy / Albany in the late 80's/ early 90's? Did you ever live in Boston? I live in LA now, tho I grew up on Long Island...

where did we know each other?

nope and nope. i grew up near Detroit, went to college about 3 hours north of there, and with the exception of a 9 week internship in washington, dc, i've pretty much always lived in the metro Detroit area.

i was super involved in Girl Scouts, though... did a slew of trips with them where we met scouts from other places. space camp, some huge campout in Canada (near tobermory), and a "wider opportunity" in/near Canton, ohio. were you a girl scout?

this is really bugging me!

OMG

Space Camp? when? I'm recalling early 80's but will have to ask my mom which year, but it was around easter... HOLY CRAP, would that be funny, I've lost touch with EVERYONE I went to space camp with...

easter break, 1985.
i am in the process of packing/moving, and recently came across my big binder and my ID badge and all kinds of crap. i'm more than willing to bet THAT was where it was.... i'll look through it again tonight (:

criminey why does my mind hang on to this stuff!?

AHHHH!!!! that's so awesome. I think Mom still has all my space camp stuff, gosh, I wondered where everyone went!

20 years, and you remembered my name! :) YOU, hannunvaakuna, ROCK. (if you've got other names, we should search 'em down)
