Work-Out Log: 4 May 2010

Well today was an interesting day.

After going to the doctor for a check-up and doing a little Arabic work etc., etc. I decided that I need to get a run in before dinner :).

I then proceeded to run down to the gym, again a distance of about two miles, made it down to the gym, and then hopped onto the treadmill for a mile run, followed by a bit of ab work. I would have run farther, but I decided to cut it short after 1 mile to make it home on time for dinner.

After finishing on abs (around 100 crunchs and 60 cycles), I bolted from the gym and headed home at a good clip. I made it there in under 20 minutes, not a bad time for me, but when I was turning to corner to my home street, I discovered that the wallet and keyring which I had taken with me (for no apparent reason), were longer present on my person. After calling up the gym and visiting there, I concluded that they were not there and proceeded to re-trace my steps over all 2.whatever miles of sidewalk and grass that I had run. Neither of them were anywhere to be found. I can only conclude that that either (a) I dropped them at some indeterminate point on the sidewalk and they were stolen or (b) I dropped them on a particular small, wooden bridge where they must have fallen into deep, murky water, never to be seen again. Sigh. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have come to terms with these facts and decided to press on doing everything I have been doing anyway. After all, what would life's triumph's be without it's disappointments and frustrations? So long as I learn from the experience I suppose it was all for the better, and in the end one cannot escape the fact that I came out of it all with another very good cardio work out under my belt :).
