En francais

Since joining Goodlife in November, I haven't really be frequenting my home gym very often. Goodlife is super close to my office, so I tend to go directly after work. I have 2 memberships because I have dirt cheap rates on both, so I chose to have 2!

Its the opening weekend of Winterlude, and its beautiful outside. How does this relate to my workout? Well, parking would be a nightmare if I were to go downtown. I opted to go to Nautilus Plus this morning to save myself the trouble of looking for a spot. I did a 45 min upper body workout, followed by Cardio-Kick Boxing en francais. It had been a while since I've been to a class in French, so I really had to pay attention! :) All in all, it was a good workout!

Which leads me to tomorrow.... running. I'm kinda losing my running mojo of late. With the National Captital Race Weekend rapidly approaching I need to make a decision if I'm going to run the half this year or not. This race disappoints me over and over. I always go in with high hopes, only to fail in the end. Why you ask? The effing weather. It ALLLLLWAYS seems to be the first scorching weekend of the year. It dosn't help that I know the route like the back of my hand either. I had thoughts of running Missisauga which is also around the same time... and the best part about that race? Its pretty much all downhill! I'm just torn. Lately it seems like I'm running because I feel like I HAVE to.. not because I love it.

Another thing: I'm not really loving my local Running Room these days either. There is another one relatively close where my gf is training out of... but it would mean going out of my way.

I guess I just need to buck up and make some decisions eh?

You're lucky to have 2 gyms to frequent! So cool that your class was in French; I'm so clusmy that if I had to follow directions in my second language and try to stay coordinated it would be a diaster. ;)

Don't know what to tell ya about the running... are you just bored of your routes etc?

I don't think I'm running it this year. The weather is all over the map and inevitably it's just a bore. If I do anything it will be Fall Colour again.

There are many halves that time of year. I'm actually toying with doing Bluenose in Halifax.
