I'm moving back to Somerville! Phoebe and I found an amazing apartment near Porter Square. We were really excited to go look at it, because the pictures were amazing, and we pretty much decided beforehand if it was as nice as it looked, we would take it on the spot. Well... it was. It's amazing. But we forgot our checkbooks! He told us he had ( Read more... )

Do you know the dates of the three worst days of your life?

I realized I know mine, and I was curious if I'm unusual or if people tend to have dates like that etched in their memory.

Mine:

May 27, 2007
February 14, 1996
September 13, 2000

Um, okay. So today was extremely discouraging.

Squats:
45 - 2x5 reps
85 - 4 reps
120 - 3 reps
155 - 5 reps
150 - 4 reps
140 - 3 reps

Um, yeah. So I was barely able to do my last rep of the FIRST set of 155, so I dropped it to 150. And then I couldn't even do five reps at that weight, so I dropped it to 140. And I STILL couldn't do five reps.
