Day 48: Fairfax, VA

Well, Mr. Chris went to Washington. And Mr. Chris found a playground! Yup, out and about on our first day, I spotted an awesome playground a mile from our room (at the time I thought we were 2 miles away and planned a 4 mile day, which didn't happen). And knowing I would be needing exercise, I packed my light resistance band and my workout gear including my CPC shirt. Both yesterday and today, I took a quick jog (J is still silent) to the playground and completed a small workout:

pushups, cycle jumps, hanging leg raises, pullups, and Burpees. Sets of 10,8,6,2. Then run back.

I'm a bit jealous of this playground:

Check out the equipment! It was sexy. The turf was that old shoe rubber composite. Easy on the hands, and no need to explain why my knees were so dirty, which was a blessing being so close to the DC area. One of my biggest concerns was accidentally running into a politician down there during the workout and them assuming my knees were dirty because I wanted a cabinet position. That's how they do it down there, right? Anyway, the workout was great, good time for my mile considering it was up hill, in the cold, both ways. Just like my grandparents used to tell us.

 (note mile 2, on the way back downhill)

 My only issue with the routine was that uneasy feeling of being watched. It didn't help that on day one, I got to the playground, looked around and saw no one, ripped a wicked fart, only to realize there was an older woman 3 feet away from me, now laughing so hard I think she had to stop running to catch her breath. After that, no more gas was released at any time outside. So, a good trip, good workout and great results.


BOOM!
