"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Adding in some gym time

I was never a fan of the gym. I don't like gyms. I get bored in gyms. However, it's always better to be tortured with a friend.

Today, one of my fraternity brothers agreed to start a workout routine with me. So we headed to the campus gym. My friend knew that I do my runs and am great with cardio. Sadly, I don't have a clue about things to do when it comes to strength training. She became my trainer as we agreed to suffer together through an arms and core workout.

We did 15 minutes on the treadmill to warm up, then stretched and hit the weights. Did a few sets of curls and other bicep and tricep exercises along with a pyramid of crunches for our cores and some planking. Overall, it was a really great workout.

I know I'll be feeling it tomorrow. But since a run is on the schedule for tomorrow, I think I'll be ok.
