Gym Praise

The day went sailing by and I was left behind. I did get in 2 hours at the gym and went swimming this evening. I recall both activities and my morning time of Bible study and prayer... but the rest of the day is nowhere to be found. I guess it wasn't too exciting.

I listen to praise music while I walk on the treadmill an hour a day. It is a wonderful time to worship and pray and just bask in the glory of the Lord. I am hoping to get an iPod for my birthday, but for now I use a rather bulky cassette player-radio and a pair of huge, very old black headphones. The vinyl (or whatever) that covers the pads is disintegrating and so I end up with pieces of black stuff stuck in my sweat all around my ears and sides of my face.

I was getting some pretty strange looks until Richard showed me what was happening. Now I am careful to go wash my face and ears after my treadmill time. Sure, I could go get some other headphones but these are still sounding good and I hate to buy new ones that may not work with an iPod. (Yeah, I'm a bit over confident about the iPod).

As for the cassette player, it is quite sturdy. The other day, I managed to drop it and the treadmill, which I have set pretty fast, threw it half way across the room. I tried to grab it and forgot to shut the machine down, so the machine shut me down. It gave the attendant quite a stir, but I was unhurt and not even smart enough to be embarrassed.

I will be away for several days as we go to Denver for our granddaughter's graduation. I'm not taking the computer, so I will miss you all.
