Alone

Working out alone sucks. It is nice on occasion to go on a solo run or just hit the weights hard on your own but when you want to really get a good work out you need some one else there with you. Spotting is so vitally important in bench and a variety of other free weight things, not to mention that another person is useful for giving yourself a decent recovery time and pushing you to do that one last rep. Despite this draw back I am very actively attempting to get my bench back up and hopefully break 200 for 4 reps by February or so.
The real thing I realized today is how few friends I have left in Danville, and I'm debating whether I really want to bother to make an effort to meet new people when I plan on getting the hell out of dodge in the next year or two. There is also the issue with DVC that is the lack of intellect in the vast majority of people, there is as always some exception, but it took me 3 years to find the exceptions at San Ramon and half of those I fought with on and off until senior year when we all grew up or something. I should have gone off to real college so atleast I could meet people in the dorms.
