Day 41: One Busy Day

Saturdays are great.  They are one of the few days I get to sleep in if you consider 8:30AM sleeping in.  I started the day with a three mile jog and for a change of pace everything felt well except for the troubles I was having with run keeper. 

I have been considering changing to the Nike Plus App from all the troubles that Run Keeper has been giving me.  It literally delayed my run by fifteen minutes today.  I cranked it up and it wouldn’t find the GPS satellites.  Finally in frustration I reset my phone and when it still didn’t I work I started it and ran anyway.  By the end of the run it had acquired the satellites. 

In addition to the run I mowed half my yard today and we know how many calories that burns.  However I did say I was going to go to the gym today and that promise still loomed over me.  I finished everything I wanted to around my house and headed to the gym around 5PM. 

The gym is always a great place to do some serious people watching.  It seems people love to do things in public that they should do only behind the closed doors of their home.  I submit, for your approval, the dancer. 

Yes, I just saw this guy at my own gym. I walked in and made my way to the back where the free weight section is.  There is a portion of my gym dedicated to floor exercises. I saw this guy gyrating and shaking like a he was about to explode then I watched in amazement as he broke into a break dance.  What do you say to that?  Why would someone pay for a gym membership just to show up and break-dance?  

I commenced to exercise and in the mirror wall I could see this guy doing a full on break dance.  He would take a break and gyrate for a few minutes and then go right back to break-dancing.  Why?  Why pay good money just to break-dance in public. It was hands down the weirdest thing I seen in a long time. 

In addition to that I made my way to the library today.  I think I have mentioned before I have a 45 minute drive to work and I like to listen to audio books on the way.  While on my way out I passed the video section.  On scanning the titles I came across one: Yoga & Pilates.  What kind of sick person would sandwich these two torcher devices together?

Her name is Louise Solomon and she claims to have combined the best of both. Having now done the beginning videos for both I had to pick this one up.  There are two workouts on the DVD and I am going to have to try them both all in the name of exercise.   

That was my day. I can’t imagine how many calories I burned between a 3 mile jog, Mowing the grass for 40 minutes, and finally a 40 minute full body workout at the gym.

Matt:  All of the Above.
