November 16th – Gym Membership

November 16, 2009

After work today I went down to the local gym and signed up.  These days it’s dark by the time I get home from work and it’s really been messing with my running schedule. I know this will make it easier to get back into a routine.   I had a great workout tonight.  I spent about a half hour on the treadmill before hitting the weights for a bit.  I know it’s a little silly but the treadmills all have built in television screens.  I was able to watch a quarter and a half of Monday Night Football while running three miles. I worked my arms and back today and left the gym exhausted.  I love that feeling.  My goal this week is to run three miles every day this week.
