It was gym life, but not as we know it.
Yes, I returned to the gym this morning. My first visit in 2012.
It was fraught.
Temperatures have dropped to below freezing, accompanied by some strong cold winds. I think my body got FAR too cold walking from the car to the gym’s doors, then rebelled when I started to work out.
I couldn’t do anything without levels of certain discomfort. The complete mini-weights circuit plus 5 miles on the recumbent bike sounds like a successful morning, but believe me when I say every movement came with pain I could have certainly done without. Needless to say I abandoned the notion of also doing my favoured swimming pool exploits.
I had worried that the heart meds (especially the blood thinners and beta blockers) I am on would make me feel uncomfortably cold this winter. It looks like I was right to worry?!
>edited to add 3.13 miles for Sunday 1/14<
2012 Distance:- 15.03 + 5.12 + 2.20 + 3.13 = 25.48 miles
