Well, I've gotta say I'm feeling pretty darn good right now.

After a busy day (and last night) in the core (many thanks to both Kevin and Kelsie for their excellent hospitality), I came back to North York and the apartment. After a few hours of trying to catch up with my BoingBoing feed (I'm still at Sept. 29th!), I decided to hit up the gym before it closed.

I was feeling a little tired due to my poor rest last night (and the rest of the week really), so I approached the cardio aspect with a bit of distain. However, after weighing in two pounds above yesterday's weight, I figured I should probably work off the crazy food I consumed over the past 24 hours. So, up the stairs I went to start. I decided today would be the day I stay on the thing for a half an hour. After some inital cramps, I managed to hit a new speed/distance record in the first fifteen minutes (the time I normally devote to running) and then walked/ran/jogged in varying amounts for the second half. I finally did it, I worked as long as recommended! Also, this new speed/distance record puts me a mere 0.04 m/kph (honestly not certain what it is) away from my goal for the end of December. This means finishing at least a month early should be quite manageable.

After that, some weight-training ensued, and I left the gym with the feeling of "the pump" still strong in me. Having the time to actually work out that fully in a nearly empty gym makes me wish I was around more Friday's.

Now, I'm thinking the play-by-play of my workout (regardless of how good it made me feel) probably isn't what most of you have come to expect from this blog. I like this site to serve as a record of the changes in my life, some way to asign a narrative of this life's crazy trajectory. But I know recently I've strayed from what I used to devote much of my time talking about (namely, music and culture), and its due partially to a change in my interests. Its not that any of the enduring interests have faded, they just don't seem as newsworthy as the still-novel changes in my life of late. I'm curious though, do the readers enjoy the constantly-evolving hodge-podge of topics found here? I think I had about half as many entry categories when I started this, for example. I've thought of broadening my horizons even further, devoting some space to food/nutrition (though I guess that'd sitll be 'Health'). Basically, my lifestyle of late has been a bit of a science experiment-in-progress, so it would be a reflection of my findings, and generally a way to tap my readers for some tips of their own.

With all this in mind, today I've started toying with the idea of starting another blog. One devoted more to food/fitness/nutrition, etc. I suppose if I wanted to go far enough, it would be part workout/diet journal, part research/experience-based tips, partly a forum for folks to share their own ideas. I don't know how detailed I'd go with it: after all, I'm still toying with the idea of starting it in the first place.

Thoughts?
