After finishing my medical testing for the study (so nice to have those accelerometers off!) I mounted an expedition to locate Cadbury Screme Eggs. There weren't any at the easy-to-get-to CVS near the campus; I'd checked there before the testing. So, after, I biked to the Rite-Aid on Genesee. No eggs. Then I biked across 690 and up the hill to the Walgreens at James east of Teall. No eggs. I asked employees at both places, and they were not familiar with the product. At Walgreens, I actually asked the person behind me in line whether she'd ever heard of such a thing. She had not.

Woe is me. I can live without Sweet Tomatoes. I can live without Noodles and Company or Ben and Jerry's. It's rough, but I can even live without Woodman's. But no Cadbury Screme Eggs at Hallowen? I am in a foreign land, my friends.

I'll have to content myself with the half-price bags of M&Ms, 3 Musketeers, and Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups I bought instead. And hey, after six miles of biking in search of eggs, I'll be plenty hungry for Chinese with restoman tonight!

The medical testing involved a leg strength test (sit in a chair and push with your calves), a grip test, and a VO2 max test on a treadmill. I have a print out of the VO2 results which I'll have to Google around to figure out how to interpret and where I am in terms of fitness. The study's investigator told me I did pretty well, but I'm curious about where I fall in terms of population average vs. someone who's really athletic.
