Beach on Vancouver Island
Alright, I really think I’m starting to get better at this whole title thing. Not too much to write about today, I suppose. We got up, and I went and worked out some. It was a sort of interesting experience, because I walked in and was shocked to find that the largest dumbbell they had was only marked “50″, but it was still really big. So I thought “Well, that’s an awfully large fifty pounder,” and went to lift it, not expecting a whole lot of resistance. This is when I remembered that Canadians measure things in kilograms. Seriously, weight manufacturers, would it be that terribly difficult to put units of measure on your dumbbells? So, I spent the rest of my time there having fun trying to figure out how much weight to use for my various exercises…in kilograms. On the bright side, they had a preacher curl machine, and preacher curls are my favorite. Turns out I’m good for ten reps with, if I recall correctly, about 60 or 70 kilograms. After that we all headed down to the nearby beach, and I actually think I got a decent landscape shot of it.
