When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout. I used to fight the pain, but recently this became clear to me: pain is not my enemy; it is my call to greatness." ~Henry Rollins

Day 27...ya learn somethin new everyday...
Today as I got in the gym and set myself up to get started with today's workout, I looked up and noticed Mr. C staring. "Oh, great! What now?!?", I thought. I got about 2/3 of the way through my workout and as I was struggling through the last set of dumbbell rows, I noticed that he was standing right next to me...looking at me...waiting for me to take my headphones off and acknowledge him I guess. I obliged and took my headphones off. He had a goofy smile on and a long red band of fabric that he was wrapping his hand with. He said, "Do you ever have those days where you forget somethin so basic that you can't believe it?!?" OMG...This is gonna be mind numbing... I smiled and humored him, "Oh yeah! All the time!" I then had to hear about how he has been punching bags his whole life and he can't believe he went in there and started punching without wrapping his hands...etc...etc... I was so tired and almost done and just wanting to finish up. I had to hear about how his Dad is 84 and he was a boxer too and how Mr. C trained "champions" after he was done winning his OWN championships (gag!)...how he knows all kind of special tecniques for wrapping hands...what that means and what a difference it makes...on and on and ON! Why oh why did I pimp myself out the other day...just so I could do medicine ball slams? Now he's all hyped up and following me around again trying to impress me with his "skills" and charm...both of which are seriously lacking. He finally ran out of stories. Whew! He flashed me a crooked smile, and said in a cheesy, cocky tone, "Well, you learn somethin new everyday! Don't cha?!?" I smiled politely, thinking in my head, "Ha...ha.........ha...OHHH YEAH." He finally went back to his punching bag and I finished up. It was a good workout. So far, I am enjoying this week's workouts. It took me a bit longer, but that's what I like. I feel worn out and I was so hungry when I got home. I ate a PB & J sandwich, and now I'm headed for the shower so I can go work at the school book fair! Until tomorrow......
