Traveling

I've not updated in ages, but having a little downtime while traveling means I can finally update this blog...

Today (Friday) I took the day off work to fly to Boston to watch my alma mater (Boston College) play a football game on Saturday.

I decided to sneak a hotel room WOD in, despite getting in both a regular WOD and a rowing workout in yesterday. There's no gym in this hotel in the South End, but hey, there's floor space and a wall. I decided I hadn't worked squats nearly enough in the past few weeks, so the on-the-fly WOD was:

7 rounds for time of:
-10 pushups
-15 situps
-15 squats

Result: ~13 minutes (not really sure, just glanced at the clock a few times).

Was able to knock out all 7 pushups sets unbroken; can't say the same for the situps or squats, at least not as smoothly as the pushups.

For dinner I went to a place called B Good's, which looks a lot like a Chipotle, both inside and out. Turns out it's more of a burger place. However, it wins huge points in my book by allowing you to substitute steamed veggies for the bun on the burger. So I was able to order the "West Side" burger, which is your basic burger with guacamole, cilantro, salsa, and tomato, along with some steamed carrots and broccoli. I also had sweet potato fries with the burger, which are a great substitute for french fries.

Had dinner and drinks with a friend from college and law school. He looked at me a bit askance when I ordered a paleo margarita after a couple light beers, even going so far as to call me "high maintenance" (jokingly...I think).

Hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a run around Boston tomorrow morning...
