People regularly make fun of our travel itineraries, and for good reason. While on vacation we generally get up at the light of day and go, see and do until dusk. If you think that notion of vacation is insane, then I ask you. What’s beyond Insanity? Here’s one possibility. I popped up at 4:13 am in the morning. It was a travel day. We’re taking off to enjoy the sights and sounds of Kansas City, MO with Shannan’s folks. That is not the insane part, even at the early hour. I’m getting to the Insanity.
As you know, with fear and trembling, I committed to completing Shaun T’s 60 day Insanity program. This day marked the 9th day of grueling exercise regime, and as noted above it’s also a travel day. May 23rd I posted a silly little blog about my travel day rituals. There I noted the routine bordered on superstitious. This morning I crossed the border.
After a body breaking set of “Pure Cardio” with the insane asylum escapee, Shaun T, I dragged my drained body onto the Nordic Track and engaged in far less intense exercise while watching my traditional travel day DVD. That’s beyond Insanity.
On the verge of total exhaustion, it took a quart of Power Ade, a fruit smoothie and a gallon of water to return to a normal level of hydration and a modicum of energy.
Goodness gracious, we have other trips planned within the next 50 days. Have mercy.
