Alone in the gym.

After my recent edition of coaching for the Couch to 5K program, the ladies were interested in continuing some sort of training group together ... and gaining support from one another during the Wisconsin Winter months. A local 24 hr fitness facility was gracious enough to offer us all limited time, no contract, super affordable rates. They are also allowing me to coach indoors, which is very exciting to all of us! Many even signed up family members and friends. I love seeing them at the gym with their spouses and children; all being active together as a family.

I have a treadmill at home. But, when I'm kidless .... I love having the social outlet and being around like-minded people while I run my nightly 3-4 miles. I also am excited about the opportunity to try out some new equipment, work on strength training, focus on my upper body, and indulge in tanning.

But, sometimes I show up and it isn't a social outlet at all ... I'm all alone .....

• I often think that I should try running one mile on each of the treadmills, just to be comical.
  


• I sing loudly to my explicit hip-hop tunes on my iPod, while I run mile-after-mile
  


• I enjoy making a fool out of myself (to the cameras) while I test out the eliptical machine, which I apparently am not coordinated enough for.
  


• Text to my friends to pass time while I'm on the machines. (I've always been a good multi-tasker.)
  


• Don't worry if I'm flashing anyone behind me in my running skirt.
  


• Enjoy having complete control of what is on tv ... all four of them.
  


• I ponder using free-weights and grunting loudly, cuz I'm a tough chick.
