Half My Kingdom for a Punctual Buyer
Second, there’s the punctuality issue. I’ll let the Facebook Marketplace buyer choose the time most convenient to her (it’s always a her). Inevitably, as I’m arriving at our designated meeting place, I get the text: “running late so sorry be there in ten minutes.” Every single time.
Workout with H
Yesterday, H and I settled on him coming to the gym with me the following morning. I get there when it opens (I'd get there earlier if it opened earlier). My alarm went off at 05:30. I got H up at 05:45 (with some effort). We were at the gym at 06:05 and in the pool, swimming laps at 06:10. Some people drink coffee to wake up....
I did the same twelve laps that I did yesterday, and then one more, for a total of 650 yards, which took twenty minutes. I might have done more, but I felt that H was ready for me to be done. My pace was faster than last time, but I did a bit more talking than I usually do. H busted out a solid three laps (150 yards).
After swimming we got dried off and went to the weight room. I showed him numerous exercises, but all he really wanted to do was walk on the treadmill, which was fine. I guess the treadmill feels like a novelty the way lifting weights doesn't. That'll actually make things a lot easier next time, because I can just plop him on the treadmill and then do my usual circuit.
