Pat on the back

I went to the gym today. The first time sine late May or early June. I really can't remember since last year feels like a whirlwind of working and travelling. The circuit class I had my eyes on was signed up already yesterday. My immediate thought was to not going at all, but then I decided to go and just walk on the the treadmill and use the elliptical.

30 minutes of walking and some intervals of light jogging undoubtedly raised my pulse but not as much as I had expected. Either I didn't walk fast enough or some of all that training the last couple of year is still lasting. Probably the first one. Not fast enough. At the elliptical I did 10 minutes and the last 2-3 minutes I felt like dying. I've always hated that machine, and tonight was no exception. Ugh! But I did it!

If I survive tomorrow and the day after that without being too sore my plan is to schedule in at least one visit to the gym every week. Once at week is so much better than nothing.
