Almost to the gym, RDC realized he had forgotten my gym bag. (When I take the bus in the morning, he brings my bag.) He made as if to turn north to home, but there and back would have been 40' at least. Also, my iPod battery was nearly dead.
Instead I went happily to the library, the Virginia Village branch that was my first Denver library. I borrowed Secret of the Andes, a new book by John Leonard, stories by Carson McCullers, and The Castle, because I never finished listening to it.
Back at the gym, I soaked in the whirlpool for 20 minutes reading Ann Nolan Clark.
Pretty much the ideal workout in my opinion.
