The upside to staying in one place on the planet

Chapter 327

100 days. 

There is nothing unusual about me having worked out for 100 days. My annual average is around 300-320 days a year. And that would be true of the last 25 years. What is unusual and has never happened before that I know of or have records for, is that this milestone was for 100 consecutive days of working out! Consecutive days!! Thank Coronavirus for this, because that is the only way that this could have ever happened.

This does not mean that I am a stud or an elite bicyclist or something like that. It just means that I have been stuck in the same place on the planet for the first time in 25 years for 100 consecutive days! That is the most unusual experience for me, because I live in airports and hotels and on the road for a third of each year as a norm. And each one of those travel days presents me with a huge challenge of working out, so I always choose to stay in hotels with gyms whenever possible. I try to schedule my flights to leave as late in the day as is possible, so that I can sleep for sure, but also so that I can squeeze in a work out. Or if that is not possible then sometimes I will schedule a super early flight in the morning so that I can work out when I get back.

And of course there are places and times and schedules that won’t allow me a chance to work out in any form and that is why over the course of a year, I lose 45-65 days to factors out of my control. This is why 100 CONsecutive days is such a big deal.
