Today was a rough one. I am traveling to Dallas, TX today so I decided to not do today's scheduled Plyometrics workout and instead do tomorrow’s workout, Back and Bi’s. I wanted to do the back and Bi’s workout at home because it relies on pretty heavy weights and pull ups, both of which may not be available in a hotel gym. I figure that I’ll try and get a hotel room on the ground floor and do Plyometrics in the room. Well, at least as much of it as possible in a hotel room. Then I will run afterwards.

Here's why today was so rough. I was flying out on a 7:10 AM flight which meant that I wanted to get to the airport at 6:10 AM. Which meant that I had to leave the house at 5:40 AM, which meant that I needed to get in the shower at 5:10 AM, which meant that I had to start working out at 4:10 AM. WOW, that was the long way to say I HAD TO GET UP DAMN EARLY to make this plan work. And to make matters worse we just had the time change to daylight savings so at 4:00 AM my body feels like it’s 3:00 AM.

So I went to bend at 8:00 PM last night in an attempt to get enough sleep. Between dealing with kids, etc. I didn’t get to bed until 8:45 PM. Remember, with the time change my body felt like it was 7:45 PM so it was not too tired. I felt like I was JUST falling asleep at about 9:30 PM when my wife notified me that the hot water heater was on the blink and that I could expect a cold shower in the AM if I did not get up and fix it. It was an easy fix so I got up and did it. Back to bed. Woke up many times throught the night burning up for some reason. Finally getting the cold that the baby has?

Anyway, woke up on time, a little groggy but not too bad. Chest and shoulders sore from the previous days workout, but I BROUGHT IT! Had a great back and Bi’s workout. When it came time to go up and shower my arms were so toasted that I could barely raise them to put the shaving cream on my face. And once I did get the cream on, shaving was even harder than putting the cream on.

So long story longer… I’m tired but had a great workout. I love it when a plan comes together.

Till next time… Bring It!

UPDATE: I'm blogging this for a very nice and open atrium at the hotel in Dallas. I got to the hotel, changed into my running gear, went down to the hotel gym and ran 4 miles. Workout # 2 for the day was awesome!
