Long John Silver's Workout Regime

So in addition to whinging a lot, I have done some other things while on this 'rest' break. It turns out that there are not many forms of exercise that involve not using your feet at all but here are the ones I have discovered:

1. One legged cycling on a stationary bike. This is extremely entertaining to the gym goers around me too. It is suprisingly hard on my quad.
2. Kayaking. Apparently you are meant to push through with your feet when you kayak, but I'm all for doing things incorrectly, like my taxes.
3. Upper body weights. Actually I also do one legged squats, calf raises and so on. This is also interesting to the other gym-ers and sure to make me look a little lop-sided after a few weeks.
4. Rowing machine - you are meant to push through with your feet on this one so I have taken to dangling one leg off the side of the machine. After seeing me on the bike though, people find this less amusing.
5. Buy Lululemon. Oh right that isn't exercise but it is pretty and makes me feel good. I think that when I click that 'add to bag' button, I get a runner's high.

As it turns out, I don't find many of these activities particularly enjoyable. Swimming is far and away the worst of the lot. I should note here that I am not saying that swimming is overall boring as a sport, it is just not for me. I don't mind it mixed in with running and cycling, but swimming 6 days a week just doesn't work too well for me.

Here is my issue with swimming. Firstly there was a flood so my local(ish) pool has closed indefinitly. I had a gym and pool membership, but now it is just gym, so I have to commute from another pool to the gym which is a waste of time. Oh if only I could run from the pool to the gym. Stupid flood. Stupid moon boot. Stupid foot. Ignoring this though, once I am at the pool, I have to swim laps. This is worse than running on a treadmill. There is a black line and you stare at that for an hour doing the same repetitive motion. There are also total morons at the pool. Total morons encompass people who dive on you, decide to stop mid-lap, decide to stand in the middle of a lane and people who think it is a good idea to sit on the lane ropes and have a chat. There is something called a recreational swimming area and I think these people should make use of it. Then there are men who think it is ok to swim in their underwear. No I don't mean DTs, I mean jocks. One guy even swims in his white jocks and they don't have an internal liner.
