The shift was active enough that I did not think I was going to get a workout in tonight.

The county was busy, and I did not want to leave the other guys alone if road officers brought someone in. Experience matters, and even if I am not a supervisor, I still feel responsible for watching out for the people I work with.

Eventually things slowed down enough to get a short lift in.

Six-minute treadmill warmup, bench press, rows, lateral raises, rear delts, and situps. Nothing extra, just what I had time for.

Work came first. Training still happened.

That is a good balance.
