Back to the Gym: 8/4

I ended up not making it to the gym on Thursday, but I did walk to work so I got some exercise. I made a concerted effort to get there on Friday, despite it being Game Day (which usually end up being frantic to one degree or another) and road a stationary bike for a half hour while listening to the Dungeons & Dragons Podcast.

"Episode 13: Mail Bay, Part 2" made for a good Game Day listen, as this time around hosts Mike Mearls and Dave Noonan focused on listener questions and the art of gaming, from what makes for a good gaming room to how to encourage role-playing at the table.

Unfortunately, that'll about do it for me this week, exercise wise -- Sue and Jordan are off to see the play Cinderalla tonight, which leaves me home with Luke and no way to get to the gym. Still, four days out of seven is pretty good.

Vacation starts next week, and it's likely that my exercise regime will likely suffer, at least after Wednesday. With that in mind I want to make sure to get to the gym Monday-Wednesday (though I'm hoping to get to the pool instead on Monday and Tuesday).

At GenCon I'll be staying at the Hilton, and hope to take advantage of its gym/pool facilities. That'll be a first for me -- I don't think I've ever done anything more than eat/sleep/shower/game at GenCon before and I'm curious to see how many gamers make it to the gym.
