Early Run, Early Workout, Naseau

Woke up at 6 to get in some miles before leaving for Minneapolis. When I was standing by my clothes, I considered going back to bed, but then I willed myself to get out there. Yes, it was cold, but if you wear clothes then it is not. It wasn't too cold once I got out there. Planned to do a mile warmup, then then old A'ror'n days 10k course, then the mile back, but heard some kind of strange noise from the golf course, like a rabid animal, so I changed the course. Finished it with 6 miles. Pretty good.

Did a workout right as I got home, the same one I did on Monday. The divebomber pushups are still hard, maybe even harder than on Monday because my shoulders were a bit sore.

For some reason started feeling like crap during the last set of the workout. Layed on the floor for a minute, then cranked out the rest. It is good to push through when you don't want to. It made me feel a little naseaus though. Oh well, it is bound to happen sometimes. I think working out right under the heater vent really makes me feel that way. I really do.

You get extra die-hard points for having the will to not get back in bed and do your workout.

Perhaps you should move away from the nausea vent.

Good work. Excellent.

Way to go!... and not let the rabid animals or nausea stop you.

I actually googled "dive bomber pushups". They're the same as what I know as "Hindu pushups". I like them - a good all over exercise. Make me feel all G.I. Jane. With hair.

What Ben said in his first stanza.

And what Abby said in her second. But like Dick Marcinko instead.

The misspelling made me think you were going to write about Nassau in the Bahamas. Darn.
