Do the Best with What You Have

I was debating whether I'd go to the gym today. The debate sprung from the fact that I tore my foot up surfing Saturday. I suffered a deep puncture wound when one of the fins of my board hit my foot on a wipeout, and only today was it getting back to normal.

I planned a scaled-back workout, just upper body to let my foot continue healing.

But the debate was decided when I left work later than I wanted. So I went home, but I still wanted to at least do something. So using a loft that runs on two sides of my apartment, I did pullups followed by pushups -- six sets.

It was exactly what I needed -- a real, if short, workout. It proved again that you can work out just about anywhere.
