Today was a rest day for the run training, and I accompanied Sweet Man to the gym to do a non-running workout. Kids stayed home, so it counts as a date, right? We haven't been to the gym consistently in months, so we're trying to get that habit going again. He ran like a crazy man on the treadmill while I played around on the weight machines. I did all the arm machines, the ab machines, and the back machines, three sets of 10-12 reps. My favorite was the ab machine that works kinda like kneeling on an office chair and swiveling to work your waist. It was actually fun, and I had to keep count to prevent myself from doing too much and risking regrets of soreness tomorrow.
Since I didn't need a pumping soundtrack to keep me going, I had my NPR podcast of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me playing in the ipod. I fear some of my gym-mates must have though me a bit crazy, as I grinned and sometimes laughed out loud during my workout...
