Runner’s diary, Monday

I made it back to the gym after what seems like months — I guess it’s literally been months. I taught this morning, then hit the office, managed to get quite a lot done and split early to get in a work out. I’ve been in excuse mode for too long and could see the results around my waist and in the quantity of clothing that no longer fits. I needed to just suck it up and hit the gym.

So I did today, running a mile on the treadmill and then hitting the weights and the elliptical machine. It was a good hour-plus and I feel good. I’ve got the bag packed for the morning already.
