Tonight I am so exhausted I can barely remember my uninspiring run from this morning. This is basically how it goes when the work day starts at 8am and ends at 11pm. I'm fairly certain that around 5:45am I woke up, tripped my way into some workout clothes and found the elevator to take me down to the gym. I located an unused treadmill...which most are (it's dark until 7ish here in Malaysia so the treadmill is really the only sane option) and took off. A couple factors I remember that really leave a lot to be desired. (a) it was really hot. I mean mind-numbing, dripping sweat all over hot in the gym. Seriously folks, you build air conditioned walk ways so that you don't have to walk outside, what does it take to get air conditioning in the gym? (b) jet lag is catching up with my body and its getting tougher to move. Other than that, I really have nothing to say about the workout....but every mile does count in the grand scheme. The jet lag won't last forever, just a few more days and hopefully I can hit my stride again. (Oh wait, in a few more days I head back to the states which means the jet lag starts all over again)
Unless we get back to the hotel from meetings before 9pm tomorrow, it is highly unlikely I will get in a workout, which means I won't be back with an update until Friday. Here's to hoping, though, that if I do get in that run that its a bit more exciting. Happy trails!!!
