Weight Training

As I left for the gym today, I had an quick interaction that made me chuckle. It was raining, of course, and there were two smokers outside the building. As I went outside, they were putting their cigarettes out, and one of them said to me, "You are NOT going out in THIS! You'll get pneumonia!"

Smokers. They were standing still, outside, smoking. Now, I'm not one to tell them they shouldn't smoke, far from it, but... I'll get pneumonia? Being active? I understand they were assuming I was running, and I didn't correct them and say I was going to the gym. Tomorrow, though, I'll be running, in the rain, and will likely see the same smokers.

I thought it was funny. Here's today's workout.
