so, I joined a gym...

for a variety of reasons. But two of the biggest ones were I needed a place to run when it rained. I know, I know, I could just run in the rain as long as there isn't lightening etc. And when I become a seasoned runner, I may just do that, however, since I am a newbie still, I would rather stay dry and not water log my iPod.

The other reason is that I HAVE to start weight training.  The home weights weren't cutting it. And honestly, I like to do free weights in the gym. Have you seen some of the guys there. Ok, so that isn't my main reason, but it is  definite bonus. Anyway, I know how good lifting is. And I want to be strong.  

Anyway, I went today. And I realized that while I want to do weights, I need to bring along my routine with me. Yes, you know, the ones we all have from Women's Health or Her Fitness, etc.  i will be the only person doing that I am sure, because I saw NO ONE else doing that. But you know what. I could care less. It is better to have a plan than to haphazardly do weights without a plan.  As you guys know, I am all about the planning.

Because I have a goal. I am on a mission. To be taut and cut. By my birthday, hell, by new year's. I will do it. I will turn back time.  

In other running news, there is a half marathon in February, the weekend of my birthday, that I am going to sign up for. 

In other dating news, well, all is quiet on that front. Unless you count the White African guy from Myspace who lives in NYC. He is an option. I will get back to you on that.
