Fitness and Contemplation

Last week, I learned that the reason Scandinavian women are so beautiful is because 1000 years ago, the Vikings killed all the ugly ones and thus drastically reduced the unattractive gene pool.

It was this thought that I kept in mind as I handed over 1000 kroner for a gym membership.

I went alone. It was one of the first times in Copenhagen that I was doing something that I didn't have to all by myself. I had taken the S-tog to class and the airport alone before, but it felt different to do something non-mandatory. The walk to the gym was only 10 minutes, but it was snowing perfect-consistency snowflakes and my I-Pod kept shuffling to the most appropriate songs and I felt suddenly at home.
