Sad Days
I haven't been doing an incredible amount of training yet, because of various frustrating reasons. For the first two weeks it was simply impossible, as we were staying in hotels without gyms and traveling every day. Three or four days I had access to a pool, so I swam for 45 minutes to an hour even though it only took me 15 seconds to get from one end of the pool to the other. I was very frustrated by not being able to work out, as it is very difficult for me to sit still for days on end. I was looking forward to arriving at the University and being able to use the gym and run around.
I didn't realize, however, that we were arriving at the University basically a week before it officially opened. As it is somewhat unsafe and rather warm to run around campus alone in the morning, I have only been out running two or three times this week. When I can buy a membership to the gym next week and my routine becomes easier once classes start, I'll be running and lifting regularly and posting my progress here. I wish I were in Geneva training with my team, though. Teammates are underrated.

Too bad about having no way to train. That must be torture for you. I am being serious. I hope you find some way to exercise soon.
Situps in a nice cool air-conditioned room aren't overrated... are they? I did situps for an hour once. That was good exercise. Granted, I only did it once. Once was enough. Because situps are not a team sport. And teammates are underrated. Or so Becca says. Then again, the mind is a powerful thing, which could also be underrated.
In any case, good luck with that.
