Wow. There it is. The pain kicks in. I feel like the morning after I first learnt how to snowboard. I can't sit up, my back is sore, my legs are killing me. Every muscle in my body aches!!! I hobble to the bathroom with a Mr. Burns esque hunch and pour myself the hottest shower imaginable to try and loosen myself up.
Feeling fresh and still a little sore, off to work I go...via SKATEBOARD!! Yes, beaten and bruised, I grab my board and hit the streets. Skating to and from work is a simple way I plan on sneaking in a little cardio each day. Lucky for me the road is mostly downhill!!! I pull up to my office making incredible time and proud of my journey realize that not only did I forget my office keys, but forget my entire wallet. I already ordered a smoothie and now I can't even enjoy it. Uphill roads stare me as i work myself back home. Unexpected cardio is always a bonus but forgetting various things, I ended up doubling my daily trek.
To wrap up my 12 hour day, I don't run home for the couch or the TV, I grab my shorts and shoes and head to the gym! I know right?! Now gym attire takes on many forms. Some people pay $100 bucks for a moisture wicking, blood flow encouraging, swoosh marked body wrap, some choose a barely there short short and bra/tank top combo and some bundle themselves up like its the coldest day of the winter. My approach is much simpler. A pair of swim shorts so I can hit the hot tub as soon as I am done and a white Hanes V-neck t-shirt. Doesn't get more comfortable than that. However...bicep days require a different shirt. Bicep days require a favorite T-shirt from your past. Probably an old camp T-shirt or favorite football team shirt that is so tight that you can read a terrible tattoo through the fabric. My Bicep shirt is an old X-small S-Trip! staff shirt with sleeves I have torn off with my teeth. Shirt on, veins pumping, blood flowing and muscles swelling I destroy 3 bicep super sets and a quick Treadmill Interval Cardio (see Day 2) and call it a day.
