Gym session went well. Given how sore my muscles were, I'm surprised that I could do 3 sets of 10 reps on all but 1 exercise - where i managed 9, then 8 then 5. But i wasn't going to be silly about it. If the muscle had nothing left to give for that exercise, I'm going to listen to my body.
I asked various people for info on equipment. Everyone was really nice. So I feel a lot more confident now for my next solo session. One older guy was really nice and I bumped into him again in the changing rooms as he was leaving. He asked me if I enjoyed my session - as i told him it was my first solo session, and said he'd offer any advice he could in future. Lovely stuff.
When I used the sauna, I met a guy who was there on my last sauna trip too. Turns out he's a professional footballer. Whilst I have no interest in the sport, he seemed like a nice guy, and it's interesting to meet a person who has dedicated their adult life to fitness.
Today's shift at work has had challenges. But I think the evening looks to be settled.
