Tough It Out Tuesday

Maybe some GYM time is in order!


You know the scenario, you get all charged up and join the local gym, lay your money down with the great promise to ones self that I’m going to use this new facility and all its shiny new equipment.

So, when was the last time you were actually there?

Be honest.....

Last week?

Yesterday?



I’ve been dragging my gym bag around with me for a week, it has more miles on it than my running shoes!
The whole purpose of joining the gym was to be able to get my mileage in while the Winter Weather storms around me.....but then I talk myself out of going, because.....the roads will be too bad to travel on later on and in the dark, yikes, talk about self sabotage!





I’m the QUEEN!





So my theory for joining the gym was for core work and strength training, ahhhuh, isn’t it common knowledge that the stronger the core the better the runner....most injuries are caused by muscle imbalance.....
so why is it so hard to get my soft core to the gym?

Sometimes I find it easier to pound pavement than to go a 1/4 of a kilometre to the gym.....yikes, give my head a shake.....therefore, after hearing the weather report for today, freezing rain or ice pellets and now a Flash Freeze warning! Do I want to run in this?


I've gone to "work-out"......
