'cise

Today's exercise = a late-afternoon 2-hour walk, which is much shorter than my usual 18K-plus walks on Saturdays. Why? Because I'm going to do a crazy 60K walk from my place to Yangpyeong starting tomorrow night around 9 p.m. The crazy walk will end around 2 or 2:30 in the afternoon on Monday. I'll enjoy a meal in town (or not—my real cheat day is Tuesday, i.e., Lunar New Year's Day), then head back to Seoul by subway. I'm doing new-year's lunch at #3 Ajumma's place Tuesday afternoon (cheat day!), then I'm back to the discipline on Wednesday, the final day of this vacation.

That bench-press machine in the park next to my building has me thinking I can start using it to build my pec strength up from the nothing it is right now to, I don't know, maybe 50 reps before I switch to knee pushups. This throws off my pushup schedule for the year, but sometimes you have to reset your goals and do what you can. I suspect that, if I can do 50 reps on the bench-press machine, I can do 10 reps' worth of knee pushups. Check with me much later this year to see how all of that is going.
