Do you remember that song from Sesame Street? Or was it Mr. Rogers? "One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong ..."
To help you understand the rest of this post, you need to know this little fun fact about me.
I always travel in sweats. Always. Tasteful, coordinating sweats ... on Sunday it was a Calvin Klein ensemble ... but sweats just the same. I have been stuck too many times for too many hours (or days) in too many airports or on too many tarmacs or in too many crappy airport hotels without luggage to NOT travel comfortably.
And normally, there aren't a lot of people dressed like me. Until yesterday, that is.
You see, "The Arnold" was in Columbus this past weekend, as was I. The Arnold, as the locals call it, is Arnold Schwarzenneger's Fitness Expo/Conference/Gathering, billed as the world's largest, multi-sport fitness competition on its website: http://www.arnoldsportsfestival.com/
Which means, accordingly, that zillions of athletes, namely weightlifters and body builders in all shapes, ages and sizes, were also out in force.
As I walked from the ticketing counter to the gate at the airport, it became very apparent that I was not the only person in sweats waiting for a plane.
However, I many have been the only one in sweats without a lifting belt, bulging biceps, severely highlighted hair ... and a spray tan.
P.S. Workout Update: Walked this morning. Knee still really stiff and painful. Not sure where to go from here. Consulting non-medical experts tomorrow.
