Oh gym, how I've missed you!

This past week, I've been restless and itchin' to do something. Its been SOOOOOOOCOLD though, that anything active outdoors is just out of the question. I mean, I'm talking below zero in the mornings and dark and icy in the evenings.

So I was pretty excited when my brother gave me a free week's pass to the new Lifetime Fitness in Lenexa. I got it Saturday and went today.

I did a 1song warmup on the elliptical and then ran on the treadmill. I started out pretty slow since I haven't been running much (I'm talking 13:00 miles here people!) but then every 200m (the dreadmill shows a track on it!) I'd up my speed one push or .1 mph. I ended up sprinting the last 200m at like 8.0 mph. It was tough.

Luckily though, the workout kept things interesting. I didn't get bored and I had fun! I think the optimal people watching at the gym is VERY helpful.

I then got in the pool, swam 100m and thought I was going to die. Literally thought my arms were going to fall off.

Luckily I was rescued by my nephews who just wanted to play in the other pool. Phew.

I've already got my bag packed for the morning, so I can go on my way to work. If I can keep it up this week, I just might think about an actual membership! Man, that would sure make the winter go by quickly!!!
