Season 2 - Day 9

Today's Notes:

In Kentucky for work. It's always hard to find a good place to work out on the road - fortunately, I've been here a few times before and made the mistakes of trusting Garmin to tell me where to go.

So, I could go to the hi-tech, brand new Lexington Athletic Center, where everything is bright and shiny and new, or I could opt for the lo-fi Glenn Ford's Fitness Center, which was built in 1893 to train horses to move hay around or some shit.

I'm going for Ford's, because something in me just needs to hear the clank and clatter of old iron rattling around, instead of rubber-coated plates sliding on machined cylinders.


Today's workout was about 50 mins.

HOW I FEEL:

Meh. Working out on the road sucks, period. But the gym I was at was so lo-fi, it felt like old-school workout videos we used to watch when I was in high school... Like I was Rocky, training with sandbags and chains and shit. It was kinda neat, actually.

I didn't get to run or do any cardio, so I just sped up my session so that I was resting about 20 seconds max between sets. It worked, my heart was pumping like crazy during the workout. When you can't get everything you want, sometimes you just make what you can get, work.

I have no idea if that comma is supposed to go there or not. It feels like I needed a pause there, but it feels kinda odd. I know the common mindset is "when in doubt, leave it out" but meh, I'll do what I want, cause it's my blog, so, like, whatever man.
