my first day at the gym!

Posted: 2nd Dec 2006

i couldn't resist taking the dorky "first day at the gym all excited" picture ... i never joined a gym before ... it's so cool to know i can go whenever i want and just wave my little membership thingy at the scanner and work out til i drop ... which i did today i did 30 mins on the bike using a "hill" program ... then i did 15 mins of leg machines ... then i ran 5 miles on the treadmill over another "hill" program and managed to keep at 9 minute mile pace ... then i did 15 mins of upper body machines my vest was soaking wet with sweat but i felt really good ... i downed half a litre of orange juice to get some sugar back in my blood and walked home through the castro on a butiful day i love going to the gym update so even after all that running and other excercise my leg doesn't hurt at all ... it must be that the treadmill is a much better surface for running on than the sidewalk ... cool by the pool!
