It's sad that one 1.5 mile run warrants a blog post but here it is, haha.
I got back in the States this past Sunday evening and have been experiencing slight jet lag. I would come home from work, eat dinner and pass out around 9pm just to wake up at 4 or 5am. While it is nice to have this schedule, it is not me and I haven't been hitting the gym at night like I used to. So, to work around what God is doing to me, I decided to take advantage of my AM time. I managed to squeeze in 1.5m between 7 to 8am, leaving enough time to do some free weights and get ready for work.
Getting to the gym yesterday required a very early morning so I drove in my workout clothes with no make up. It's the first time I tried the au naturel look at a gym and there's definitely some observation to report. I can TOTALLY see the change in the front desk attendent's face between when I first walked in looking like shit and a half, and when I walked out ready for work (post makeup). I must say I agree with his reactions because I even scared myself when I went from running in front of a window to free weights in front of a mirror. Bottom line is, working out in public places requires a minimal "workout look" - undereye concealer, eyebrow and a light eye liner. It was Kelly Osbourne who first brought this discussion to my attention a while back and from what I've seen around here, some should consider.
