One hell of a workout night!!


The evening started with dinner and the doorbell ringing. It was our neighbor. Her husband is the President of Trophy foods and brought us a huge basket of every type of nut you can imagine. (The picture is just a portion of what they gave us).

I ended up eating way more chocolate Almonds than I should have, but they taste so good. Afterwards I told Alice I'm taking most of the stuff to work, having it in the house will be too tempting for Reid and I.

After I ate them I had a brief sugar induced nap. When I woke up I decided to run to the auto body shop to pick up Alice's car. I figured it would be a 5 mile run there and a ride back.

When I got there, the auto body shop forgot to put the car outside. Without a cell phone, I had to run back. Running there and back took me 1 hour 18 minutes. I was pissed for part of the way back and was ruminating on how I was going to tell the guy off. Then I thought about it and said "screw it", I may as well enjoy the run back and forget about it. Why work my self up and let those guys ruin my evening.

When I got home, the endorphins were flowing. I felt like superman. I could feel no pain.

After I stretched, I decided to hit the weights and did Back, Biceps and Legs. I blasted all those muscles with tons of weight. My body was in that place that only comes along once in a while, where I could just giver without feeling pain but feeling strong. Alice said she could hear a lot of grunting from the basement.

I felt great tonight after all that training. Tomorrow my body may feel differently, but for now I'm enjoying tonight.
