So I’m not a treadmill runner. I get so bored running in the same spot forever, or so it seems. Tomorrow is my long run, too, which means I should spend several hours on the treadmill. I’ve packed up some magazines and books but still don’t think I’ll make it past eight miles.
The good news, though, is that I will have access to a pool once I get done! I’m looking forward to diving into the cool water. I’ve been thinking that if this gym thing works out, and the marathon goes well, perhaps I’ll train for a triathalon since I’ll have pool access when I join the gym. Don’t think I can do a complete tri, but maybe a partial.
I took a tour of the gym today. It’s nice, a gym located just a few miles from my house. I would have access to the pool, fitness classes like yoga and pilates (which I typically do at home, minus the yoga class I’m taking now at a local senior center lol!) as well as racquetball courts and kiddy day care. Not that my infant would stay in the daycare. I’m sure she would scream forever. At least until they pulled me from the treadmill and pushed me out the front door! But I have to get her used to someone else at some point, right? I mean, she’s almost a year now, and when I leave the room she screams unless my husband is there.
So we’ll see how the gym thing goes. It’s only thirty bucks a month. I’d be able to use the treadmills when I needed, though I do intend to get back out on the pavement next weekend when the skies clear up some, and I could go to some classes. I’d like to try an ultimate body boot camp type class. I’ve been copywriting for one program, Ultimate Body Boot Camp in Phoenix, and it sounds so fun and intense that I’m dying to try it.
So, I’ll report back and let you know how the treadmill running goes! I figure if it is only one day I can hang. I’ll watch tv, listen to music, read my magazines and remember that in just a few more miles I”ll get to jump into that Olympic sized pool!
Have a great run this weekend, moms!
