Finally signed up at 24-hour Fitness in Moraga . Holding out for a week saved me the $50 initiation fee; they had a Cyber Monday special! A pretty nice gym, clean, new equipment, combination lockers, complimentary towels, open 24 hours, and only about 7 minutes from home. The weather forecast for the upcoming 10 days suggests no mornings above freezing, so the gym is a necessity.
Today I ran on the treadmill for 50 minutes at an average speed of 5.4 mph, with the last ten minutes at a 6 mph pace. The treadmill said about 1,000 calories.
Today is the beginning of the Global Corporate Challenge December Sprint. I am in competition with a woman named Zuzanna Kowalski -- we'll see how it goes!
Lost about a lb over the last week. Today at 261.
A blog where we can discuss our goals regarding health, fitness, food and general wellness. This should be a fun space where we congratulate each other for a job well done, plan fitness activities to do together, and ask for extra support when we need it. Advice is good - but only when asked for! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like according to your own goals.
Zuzanna might as well concede now...
ReplyDeleteI like 24 Hour Fitness because it is...well...open 24 hours. It is amazing how often it's nice to be able to pop over to the gym when nothing else is open.
ReplyDeleteBelow freezing stopping you for exercising outdoors? Whatever for? Sigh...winter...it's precipitating here. I've pledged to run (and bike) outdoors all winter, as long as it is dry. So far, I've been doing well. My coldest morning so far? 23 degrees!!
I agree with Ruth (again), Zuzanna does not stand a chance!!
Good job!
