Always Be Prepared

That's the Boy Scout motto.  But it worked pretty well for me yesterday, too.  I must have had some kind of premonition when I packed my gym bag, because for some reason, I put in two pairs of workout pants.  I never do that.  I don't even know why I did it this time.  I just did.

I spent half an hour on the treadmill before meeting up with Becky for a nice hard session of lifting.  So I had worked up a bit of a sweat before she and I even got started.  Then I sweated more as we worked out.  As I stood in front of the mirror to check my form as I did a set of upright rows, I noticed that I appeared to be having a personal problem.  I was wearing gray leggings and a long t-shirt.  But the t-shirt did not hide the fact that I had sweated a lot and it had run down...well, I hate to be rude, so I will just say that it looked like I had wet my pants.  It showed up quite plainly against the gray leggings.  I said, "My!  That's an unfortunate place to sweat!"  This story illustrates yet another good reason to have a workout partner: you have someone to laugh hysterically at you when you do something really dumb, like look like you wet your pants. 

Then I remembered my inexplicable need to pack two pairs of workout pants in my bag.  So I went to the locker room and changed into a nice baggy pair of black sweats.  There are three morals to this story: 

1. Listen to your intuition.  
2. Always have a workout partner to help you through the tough times.  
3. Don't wet your pants.
