Iron Martini: Karen's Wednesday and Thursday

Thursday, September 25, 2008

Yesterday I climbed at the climbing gym, and today I worked out with a personal trainer. My right side is a lot stronger than my left side.

Chris said...: Why did the personal trainer have you work on only one side? Seriously, what WO did you do with your PT?; September 25, 2008 at 1:03 PM
Sam Crish said...: Chris, I'm confused at your confusion.; September 25, 2008 at 1:05 PM
Chris said...: I try to make joke. You scientists are sooo serious all the time.; September 25, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Sam Crish said...: I am a busy, important scientist, that is true.
I'm so serious b/c I am thinking important thoughts all the time.; September 25, 2008 at 2:33 PM
