That's right. Gym Suicide. That's what I committed today. I got to the gym knowing that I wanted to work legs, but I also knew Shanon wouldn't be there so there goes my motivation and someone to push me. I saw Glenn the trainer and mentioned if he didn't have a client he could do some legs with me....well, he didn't have a client and he did legs with me (well I did legs) and it was awful! I was dripping sweat and he wouldn't let me rest and the weight kept getting higher and higher....I felt like I was going to throw up! I trained with Glenn for a year and it's been over a year since I worked with him. I never remember him pushing me this hard, but he probably pushed me because he knows I can do it. He sees Shanon and I in the gym every day so he knows what I'm capable of - I just don't like to work so hard. Anyway, I was very proud of myself because I did everything required, but when I was done I got on the treadmill to run and I couldn't run. My legs were shaking so hard -- I walked at an incline and I did the bike for 15 minutes but I couldn't believe how sore my legs were. Now it's time for a nap.....(sorry this is a repeat from my gym blog. But isn't it great to read it twice!)

AWESOME! How sore are you going to be tomorrow?
Brooke, you're such an inspiration to me. Now that I'm retired from teaching group exercise, I'm so out of shape! I haven't actually gained weight but I am very jiggley! Andrea and I have begun to run again and reading your gym stories helps keep me motivated! Thanks!
