Yesterday night I had my fitness assessment at my new gym, Persechini Fitness Centre. I’ll share the all important numbers (weight, body fat, measurements) after my re-assessment in eight weeks. I can’t wait to start weight training again and get into a routine. I will continue to run outside at least once a week and probably run on the treadmill a couple days, but my main goal for the fall and winter is to stick to a strict 1 hour/4 days per week weight training plan. It’s going to be tough, but the results will be worth it. Or so I’m told. 
Some of the questions that the trainer was asking got me thinking… this time last year, starting to run had never even crossed my mind! In January, I was thrilled to have run for 30 minutes straight. Hubby and I were just saying that we’re going to hit the gym tonight for an “easy 5 K” on the treadmill. 8 months ago, running 5 KM was a huge accomplishment for me. Pretty amazing what I can do if I put my mind (and body!) to it.
4 days til the race!
It is pretty crazy how quickly you can do something when you set your mind to it. I think back to in April when I tried to run 3k outside and thought I was going to die! Same a you 5k is now an easy run.
Feels so good doesn’t it
