I went to Gold’s Gym this am. It was crowded but I like the energy of going to the gym. Like minded people all putting their bodies through what some would call torture but knowing that the payoff is worth it!

I love to people watch at the gym. I see a lot of people reading magazines while on the treadmill or other cardio machine. I always think to myself if they are able to read, they really aren’t pushing themselves as hard as they need to. That’s just my opinion, but if you are getting to the gym – which is half the battle – you might as well push yourself as hard as you can, that’s the point right?

Anyone doing the run in Brambleton in a few weeks? I am a bit nervous – it will be the first run of the season for me and although I have been running on a treadmill – it’ definitely not the same as running outside. I have asthma so outside influences like cold air, allergens, humidity play a number on my breathing — but the more I head outside to run, the better it is for me – so while I am nervous, I’m also itchin to get outside and run and run and run…
