Sunday Night

Just got back from using the great Gold’s Gym they have here next to my hotel in Bangor, Maine.  I had a great little workout, doing 10 min on the treadmill, then a full UBWO BFL style, followed by 8 min on the gauntlet (hardest machine I have ever used) and then lastly 10 more min on treadmill.  This was the first real workout I have had in several weeks, and the first time I have gone all out in a month, I will be feeling this tomorrow!

 

After going to the gym I stopped in at the hotel pool where my kids had been for the previous two hours with my wife and relieved my wife and let her go relax while I sat in the hot tub to soak for 20 min and then went in the pool.  When I was a kid I used to swim alot but in recent years not so much.  I can swim, in that if I were thrown in, or had to swim to save my life I could do so, haha, but I am "not a strong swimmer" to quote a great SNL skit from the 80′s (yeesh dating myself).  Anyway the kids love swimming, and my 8 year old doesn’t even remember the last time I went in with her to a  pool, so she enjoyed it.

 

Tomorrow I have 7 hours of driving coming up so I hope to get thru that relatively pain free.  Driving long distances is not good times for me at the moment, but it is what it is.  We’ll see how I feel when I get home tommorrow.  Pics and measurements to be up by 9am Tuesday morning at the latest!
