After all that Chaka Khan, standing in an Office Depot for seven hours, talking about laser jets, Colorsphere, ink jets, driving two hours from Parkersburg, WV to Morgantown, WV, arriving at the Marriott the GPS could not find and being exhausted with a capital ‘E’ it was time to work out. This is the first time since I started training again that I did not get my morning session in and let me tell you it sucks! To begin today was my cross-training day and that means getting on a bike and giving the legs a much needed break. I would have taken care of this in Marietta, OH before we departed, but I the BW lacked a fitness room and there wasn’t a gym close by. Second, if I had known our drive was going to be two hours long after work I would have just gone out and run two or three miles down the River Trail. Being misinformed is a killer.
I’m not going to details tonight folks. It was plain and it was quite simple. My arse was dead beat, tired, and whomped, but I placed my gear on and went down to the new hotel’s awesome fitness facility and climbed up on that bike. It was 10 pm by now and as much as I mentally wanted to do 30-40 minutes of cycling my body said 20 and when your body says 20 then you give it 20. I made sure my workout level was decent so there was a decent amount of resistance. I worked out in my target heart rate zone and got nasty sweaty all while soaking in the latest in music videos. At one time in life I would have crippled over into the fetal position if I couldn’t watch music vids everyday, but these days I catch them when I can. Last one I caught for the night was Nas rapping about how Hip Hop is Dead. Don’t know about all that, but I was feeling the track and more than that I was feeling like crawling my dead behind into bed. I’m just happy I got the workout in.
Never skipping a beat…
