Too Hot?

Because of the record setting heat and the beating I have been giving my body over the past couple of weeks, I thought I'd go a little easy this week ......... well, that was the plan anyway. But today just didn't work out that way. I started with a nice 40 min workout of bench presses, BB rows, pullups and pushups and followed this with a very brisk 50 min walk (to pick up my bike at the shop) and a good 60 min bike ride. Later I spent 20 mins on the heavy bag in my 117 deg garage (I think that's a new record for working out in the heat......LOL). In addition to the usual VRAs throughout the day, I also got a good 20 min walk after dark when it cooled down a bit (well, if you consider the 90s cooled down).

I truly do hate you sometimes, your old... you should be watching wheel of fortune and going to bed. Not working out more in a day then I do in a week... UG!
