"Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice." - Japanese proverb
I got sucked into the gym membership today, and can't decide whether or not to feel fooled or happy about it, but I'm leaning toward happy.
Here's the thing. Running outside now, with the ice and snow, at night (when I most likely run) is in fact, dangerous. Which sucks. And up until now, my "cross training" has been a step above a rest day. And this week where I've had two weeknights with early evening plans, it's convenient to run in the morning.
So the deal is that the month of January was free, I had this Groupon for a free month (February), the guy waived the sign up fee, and I'm just doing it month-to-month. So I can cancel it with a 30-days notice at any time, or if it becomes nice enough out again that I'm not using it, I can "freeze" it and then pick it up again later. Sounds like a pretty decent deal, and for not being tied into a contract, the price isn't terrible.
So now my outlook on cross training days is to really try and make my body better prepared for my runs. I played a lot with the basketball team today, and was definitely working up a sweat by the end. Then I did the Arc Trainer at the gym for an hour (those Kardashians keep me really entertained!) and a little ab work.
