Working Out a Renewed Sense of Dedication

Since it is Labor Day weekend & I am on one last vacay before the summer officially draws to a close, it has been a little more of a challenge to keep myself on task. Nonetheless, I am determined not to let my mind or body atrophy, so today's assignment was clear: renewing my gym membership! That's right! I've gotta do what ever it takes to keep this 29 year-old body in good working condition so that I can stay at the top of my game.

It had occurred to me looking at the calendar that today was the last day of their special summer promotion - and since my membership just ran out last week - it was now or never! I like working out at the gym just as much as the next person...maybe - but I sure don't want to have to pay an arm & a leg for it. In truth, I'd much rather my gym pay me to work out on their equipment. Where I come from people get paid for their work. They don't call it a work out for nothing. So where's my check?

Anyway, after about a half-hour of phone calls placed to various operators & gym reps from the wooden deck of a friend's beach home - I secured the deal. (Done and done!) I go into my gym of choice to sign the contract on Thursday, at which time I'll be able to resume my regularly scheduled, (a relative term) workout activity! go team!

Until then - I'm enjoying the change in my workout regimen of body surfing & boogie boarding at the Jersey Shore. Surf's up dudes!
