Thursday
I don’t know why, but I was up a little after 07:30 this morning. *sigh* I laid in bed and juxtaposed the pros and cons of staying in bed vs. grabbing a handful of morning and starting my day. I decided to make a go of it. I got to the gym and worked out and was finished by the time that I am normally just getting done with the cardio portion of my workout. This put me about 0:45 ahead of the curve. Not bad. I may try (operative word: “try”) getting up a little earlier on a regular basis. Of course, that would also mean going to bed earlier…

A guy at the gym asked me about part of the routine (reverse fly) that I did today. He’d never seen anyone do them… nor had he even considered the prospect… so he asked what areas they worked. So I showed him. He said that he had never really thought much about working his back, but that he would have to try it. I also showed him a couple of other machines that would be useful. And then, I went on to the rest of my workout. I passed through that section of the gym a little later and he was doing the reverse flys. I asked him what he thought of them. He laughed and said that they were a little more of a workout than he had originally thought, but he liked them.

Peace.
