To help motivate me at my apartment gym workouts, I bought a couple of CDs, both soundtracks from the two "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, and forgot and left both of them at the apartment. The Las Vegas shootings are still in the forefront of almost every show expect PBS, and for all I know, pledge week is probably going on, so I left the television off.
Today I got a 50 minute workout with cool down, burning 201 calories (there went either this morning's pretzels or Cheerios), heart rate average 114 (still don't know if that's good or not)*, and covered 7.87 miles (for what it's worth). If there was another benchmark, I don't remember what it was.
Without music or other entertainment, I looked out the window to my left, watched clouds float by and traffic drive by. I would at times look to the right, where the wall is one big mirror and see why I was there.
