Returning to the Smelly Gym

Since it turned out to be a rainy and cool day I decided I needed to get my butt to the gym and actually put the membership fees to some use. It has been months since I have been there; once summer hits I never want to be cooped up in a sweaty/smelly place and I have a some small weights at home. Can't say much has changed...it still smells. It being first time I have touched weights in months I took it easier. Definitely not in the shape/weight when I stopped going but surprisingly not too bad. I'm actually looking forward to making a habit out of this again :) Although I may not be saying that once the weather takes a real turn for the worse and there's *gasp* snow on the ground!

In other running related news - I signed up for the Hot Chocolate 15k. Really how could I not? There is no real training plan in effect just yet (I might want to get on that) but honestly mr. garmin hasn't come out of his sanctuary just yet so until I have enough courage to ask him out again there probably won't be a plan. I'm hoping to work up the courage next week once I get back from visiting my family in Ohio.

Glad you made it back to the gym - the first time back into a routine is always the hardest.

OK, I've got to find out more about this Hot Chocolate 15K - sounds like something up my alley!

And I hear you on the gym stuff. Whenever I'm training, I totally neglect the gym and weights and stuff. I need to get there as well and get my money's worth!
