A Carrot to Finish the Job

Recently I’ve started going to the gym regularly. My wife and I got memberships at a fairly nice place. Racquetball, pool, sauna, whirlpool, daycare, the whole deal. One other thing they have that I see as a serious plus, 4 taps at the snack bar. Isn’t America great? 

Today I went to gym for the sole purpose of playing basketball. Friday afternoons you find about 10 guys playing full court and it’s a nice workout. As part of our membership, we are treated to a free lunch at the snack bar. After dominating the post for 3 games of 4 on 4, I needed lunch.  What better way to reward myself for playing so hard than a nice pint of Racer 5.  They also have Trumer Pils, Fosters and something from Third Street Aleworks.  Didn’t bother asking what it was, I knew I wanted the Racer 5.  So I had the Racer 5, and a turkey sandwich.  I was tired, a little sore, and both were perfect for the occasion.

So next time you need to put in some time at the gym, make sure to offer yourself a reward.  You worked hard and you deserve one.
