I have been spoiled by Summer at the gym. Now that the students are back, there was a 20 minute wait to get into the fitness center. I am hoping that it was just the first Wednesday class day and everybody expected the center to be available. Hopefully some (most) of them will make adjustments and go to other centers, or at other times, or both. If they do not, then I will have to reevaluate my choices.

I used the Stairmaster rather than the treadmill to warm-up because there was a waiting list for the treadmills. There was still a waiting list when I got to wanting a cool-down, but I did not think the Stairmaster was appropriate for a cool-down, so I skipped the cool-down instead. I do not think that will be a good idea for my lower body workout Friday, so I will have to think of something else.

It was obvious to me that I had lost a little ground after skipping my last two workouts — they being during the move-in days for the students during which campus is a mad house and it is very nearly impossible to drive across campus. I do not think I will be considering any increases for a while.
