Apparently, mentioning the comment spam was taken as a challenge, because shortly after I posted someone came along and added at least 50 spam comments, spread across 50 different entries. Unfortunately, Movable Type doesn't seem to have a way to do a mass delete on comments, so I spent 15 minutes deleting all of the offers for Viagra by hand. Okay, no one is interested in this, but that doesn't minimize how annoying it was.

As far as the exercise goes, I have this problem where the line between aerobic activity and uncontrollable nausea is very fine. It's amazingly easy for me to overdo it and end up doing things that no one wants described. I think I'm getting a little more resilient because tonight I overdid it, but nevertheless managed to keep my lunch down. My current routine is to cycle for about 20 minutes; around 15 minutes in I crank it up to a cadence of about 90 for one or two minutes and then spend the last three minutes cooling down. With the exception of ten seconds, that's exactly what happened tonight, ten seconds was all it took...

The last ten seconds of the minute when I crank up the cadence I decided to go all out, I mean it was only for ten seconds right? So I cranked it up to around 160 rpm. When you're trying to tick the pedals over more than two and a half times a second, ten seconds is forever. In any case, after taking a few minutes to cool down, I spent the next half hour lying on the floor, trying to convince my kids not to step on me.
