Thank Goodness I Didn’t Have To Work Today

So today was Memorial Day.  I slept in, kind of took my time getting to the gym.  My plan was to put in a half hour of cardio, do about ten minutes of abs, then a little neck work, then bolt.

Instead I spent an hour and fifteen mintues in the weight room with an instructor named Max and four other students.  After that I spent fifteen minutes getting wrapped up and stretched a bit, just in time for a one hour boxing class with another instructor, Spencer.

Time to go home?  Not according to Joe.  No, now it’s time for my thirty mintues of cardio that I was going to do before this whole thing started.  Then the ten minutes of abs.  Then the neck.

So, three and one half hours later I was done with my forty five minute workout.  I’m certainly tired, and my legs are exhausted, but other than that I feel good.  Completing something like that gives you a definate sense of accomplishment for two reasons.  First, that you stuck it out and did it.  Second, and just as important, that I’ve put in the work for almost six months that allow me to do something like this.
