Non-Running Workout Day


No running today. I started the day with a 90 minute workout at the gym that I just joined.

Ooh. I may be sore tomorrow. It's been a while since I lifted weights or did resistance training. The last 40 minutes on the stationary bike felt good, though. Getting that burn the last 5 minutes makes me feel like I've actually done something productive.

Next Tuesday, I might run on a group trail run with the Nerds. Uh huh, a scary trail that isn't paved. I'm not quite ready for running at night on those trails, though! **The Nerds run at night with lights on their heads.**

So I think I'll go early and run with The Chief Nerd. I contacted him after finding out that some of the runners run earlier than the scheduled run. He was very helpful with some suggestions for trail shoes and very patient with my rookie and probably very stupid questions. I can't wait to meet him and some of the other Nerds!

My work and travel schedule sucks so badly right now, that I think I might be running alone on the weekends for a while. So I'm just going to have to work at finding time to attend any group runs.

One thing nice about being a runner, though. When work sends me out of town, all that I need for a workout is a pair of running shoes and a little time.

Hi Trisha, thanks for commenting on my blog, and welcome to KC! You'll love it here! There's even a local cheesesteak chain (Chartrose Caboose - never eaten there, and I doubt it comes close to a Philly, but thought I'd throw it out there).

You'll be in great company with Bad Ben, the Godfather of KC Trail Running. I ran in the Pilgrim Pacer last November that he organized and it was a great small race. I've still not made it out to run on a trail, though. That'll have to change.

Anyway, have a great week!
