Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are my strength training days.  You can tell because I look much stronger on Monday night, Wednesday Night, and Friday nights.  That leaves Tuesdays, sometimes Thursdays, and the occassional weekend for my cardio workouts.  That’s why I look more trim on those occassions.  Those of you who only see me on the weekends are unfortunate because you don’t get to see me at my muscular peaks.

Since today is Tuesday, I needed to do some cardio.  I wore a tie to work because I have to give a presentation and because I’m being beat-down by The Man.  By the time the presentation was over, it was 11:45.  The sun was baking the pavement.  I didn’t want to change clothes just to have to shower and…… heck, even thinking of excuses was getting tiring.  And thinking of lunch was making me hungry. It’s too hot.  It’s too late.  I’m too hungry.  I’d like to keep the muscular look, so I don’t want to get too trim.

Just to make sure I was right, I pulled up the weather on my computer.  Something was wrong.  Does that say 80 degrees?  No way!  Yes way!  Well, maybe lunch could wait a few minutes.  And come to think of it, I shouldn’t rip another shirt because these guns are growing out of control.  Maybe a run isn’t completely crazy.  So, I changed into my tiny umbros and hit the road for 3 miles.

Editor’s Note: No, this graphic isn’t from today’s run.  I would put that one up, but my GPS is all the way on the other side of my office.  So I’ll post this graphic from last week where I decided that given the choice between another horrible run like that and a business meeting, I would choose death.

Additional Editor’s Note: Here’s today’s run.  Because you really wanted to know.
