Gym time

More time spent at the gym tonight with the BIL. Lots of squaty things in big manly looking machines. I swear, some of those things look like torture devices. I get so tangled up in them and probably end up in about half of them backwards. It was really crowded which I wasn't too crazy about but we went at the peak after-work hour and still managed to put in a good workout. Did both upper and lower body, then 3 miles on the TM at 6.0 (which I think works out to about a 10:00mpm pace). The last .25 miles I ran at a 8:54 pace. Ha. Sweet. I find it easier to run faster on a TM than outside. I'm pretty confident I could break 30:00 for a 5k if I could do it on the TM and count it. Unfortunately, the 1,000 or so other runners running in the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis this Saturday will be running downtown and outside. Bummer. Ah well. I'll tie the jingle bells to my feet and run 3.1 miles and whatever time I get, I get and will be happy with. I'm just happy to run!
