I got some really unsettling news last night. But I can't talk about it. Mmmph :-/

I vow to take advantage of the fact that today is Friday, and tomorrow is Saturday, and so on. Weekends are splendid.

I had a good workout last night. I had a lot of negative shit on my mind, and I almost didn't go, but I knew it would help, so I went even though I was tired and hungry. It was more crowded than usual in Lady Gold's, I think because of the New Fitness exodus, so I did all my lifting with all the muscly men out in the main area. I focused on upper body last night, making sure not to let myself slack off just because my trainer wasn't making me do it. I hate most of the upper body exercises and I avoid them for the most part...but I can't be letting myself do that, so I sucked it up and pounded out some good sets. My weights were down a little bit from previously, but that's to be expected with the amount of time off I've taken.

I had another really good run. I think I'm going to try to graduate to the treadmills soon. We'll see. I almost got on one yesterday, but the only one available was between two girls who looked like USA track stars, so I stuck to the old favorite, my ellipticals. I'm vain like that at the gym. More :-/

Jury's still out on whether I'll go to the gym again tonight. I should. But it's a weekend...but I should.

Peace.

I'm the exact opposite. I love the treadmill and HATE the ellipticals.

I'm just not at the point where I can *run* for a full 30 minutes on a treadmill, whereas I can go full steam ahead on an elliptical. I have bad knees so the impact of the treadmill takes some getting used to.

Oh, um.. well. I'm not to the running stage yet. That's probably the difference. ;)

You'll get there:) I will too, if I can keep myself going regularly, with no more of this insomnia bs.

Me too. The ellipticals just make me feel awkward, because they're not anywhere close to my running stride/style, but did give a better quad workout.

I gave them a fair chance, though.
