Santa Ana Disruption

So the Santa Ana winds came roaring through last night creating a state of emergency where I am. I had a fun midnight run over to a client's house that I am pet sitting for to turn off the house alarm. From that drive I could tell it wasn't going to be pretty this morning, and it seems the area around my gym got the worst of it. So....no gym today. It was closed to clear out the debris (it has an outdoor training area that got hit pretty hard by the winds). However, I couldn't just do nothing! That's not what a pro would do so that's not what I would do! My apartment complex fortunately has a little workout room so I was able to do cardio there this morning, 45 minutes on the elliptical. I then went back down there for an afternoon session and did some more elliptical and some treadmill incline work. You have to make due, things happen and sometimes you just gotta roll with it. It can be a good thing in one way because it forces you to think outside the box, to get out of your normal routine and change things up a bit. Maybe I was meant to take it easy today because my knee has been acting up and there wasn't anyway I was going to slow down to let it rest. Maybe it was nature's way of telling everyone to stay the f*ck where they are for a day - perhaps being a little pissed about the commercialism encroachment on Thanksgiving (not that nature knows or cares what thanksgiving is but the energy disruption it might).
