My new shoes took me on a short journey to the gym
 |
| these shoes are so light and comfortable to run in |
Nike, you're the best! I love your shoes, workout clothing, and accessories. I love it ALL! If only I could afford everything I want :( sad face.
These shoes are designed for "trail running" but I don't see a lot of these around me.

| Oh rolling trails, where art thou. |
My gym commute there and back is under 2 miles. I've run in some crappy weather conditions already from windy to rainy, to freezing cold. I've got my fingers crossed for a mild winter season!!
Workout agenda this morning: LEGS
3 sets of 15 reps on each exercise
- Ballet squat
- Dumbbell lunge
- Barbell Squat
- Stiff legged deadlift
- Assisted dumbbell lunge
- calf raises
- Abductor machine
- Adductor machine
I felt so much personal satisfaction today from holding my own in the weights room full of jacked men (I was the only girl in the room!!). The shy voice inside my head was screaming "
leave this place immediately!!" but I fought the urge to run and hide. Definitely the right choice. I think the key is knowing your workouts in advance, finding a clear space to do your workouts, and staying focused on the task at hand. There are definite benefits to a weight room. One major bonus is that there are mirrors everywhere so you can work on your form. Also, free weights are a good way to vary your routine from the standard strength training equipment. It's true what they say, variety is the spice of life!
