What ever it takes!

I went and tried out Golds gym this morning and all I can say is, what a horrible place.  I know it's mostly because I've been spoiled at Lifetime and I guess at 1/6th the price Lifetime isn't 600% better but I'm not sure what to do now.  I do want a gym for the winter and Golds is the closest option to my new office but the place is just kind of gross.  Hot, stinky, crowded, and the treadmills are stacked right on top of each other.   I just can't even imagine what that place is like on January 2nd.

Anyway, all that being said I may sign up anyway.  My work has a deal with Orem Rec center which I may go try out tomorrow to compare but it's further away and if it's like most community Rec centers it's not any better.

Back to the office gym today, I decided it's not all that bad, the treadmill is a bit clunky but it goes, I have the whole room to myself and the showers are really nice.  I would like to have some free weights though.

I've decided to bump my daily mileage to 7, mainly because now I can run 7 in about the same time it took me to run 6, 8 weeks ago.  Fitness is coming slowly back, I'm still sickenly overwieght, and my glute and foot still have some pain but usually they don't hurt during my run just towards the end of the day for some reason.

I didn't get my elliptical warmup in cause 1 minute into it another person started coming to the gym and I didn't want them to steal my treadmill so I jumped off the elliptical and claimed my treadmill.  They ended up going to the soda machine for a Mt. Dew instead.

I decided to stay home this morning to help Britt get ready for the day at school.  She complains that today is going to be a useless out of control non-productive day, but then she gets the most into it.  I agree that school is meant for learning not just a big out of control party, but I also think, whatever they are 6,9, and 11 years old, it's OK to have fun.

My kids always pick the craziest costums each year, and my wife somehow always get them done, even working full time now. 

Zach is a Ninja (not too crazy), Ethan is an iPod, (Britt and I were up all night putting that creation together and it turned out awesome), Bradin is a Rubix cube, which is also very cool, and I am dressed up like the Fox from "What does a fox say?"

I went a got a massage yesterday afternoon and it was amazing, I should have done that months ago.  I felt the best running this morning than I've felt in a really long time.

The kids were done Trick-or-Treating by 7:30 last night, I think they were on Halloween burn out, Trick-or-treating in Disneyland, Trunk or treat last week, so last night they were done.  Good for me, we turned the lights off at 9:00 and I was off to bed.
