I decided to try a new place to run since my slippery run last night was no fun. There are two Gold's Gym's that are within close proximity to my work, so I went to the one that I never go to. I changed and ran around the houses and neighborhoods close to it. There are two busy East/West streets that were a pain to cross, I had to make sure I was at a light, because there was so much traffic on those roads. Other then that is was great because the streets were clear and the traffic was not to bad. My dryer eat one of my smartwool socks :( I was soooo sad!! I have had them for a few years and love them in the winter. I had to be more careful at the puddles not to get my feet wet, oh and for some crazy reason I ran in shorts. Well the reason was when I was walking into the gym some cute little girl came running in with shorts on so I was thinking if she can it shouldn't be a problem. It really was not too bad until it started to snow a bit and blow. So I headed back to the gym and ran two miles on treamill. Then because my car is dying and I'm afraid I will be stranded. I have been carpooling with my husband. He is a UPS driver and this time of year works long hours. So I knew I had some time to kill and did about 20 minutes of upper body weights, lots of core work and lots of streatching. My left knee has been hurting alot today, I think I wonked it up on my slippery run last night. I hope it feels better soon.

I love the fact that you went to the gym to go running outside. My wife made a comment about that one time. She said,"I think I'll head over to Gold's and do laps around the huge parking lot". If what you did isn't a textbook definition of a 'runner' vs a 'jogger' nothing is. Awesome.

I agree. I think it's cool that you went to the gym and then ran outside.

I'm so sorry about the loss of one of your smartwool socks. That is a true tragedies. Smartwool socks are one of my favoritist things in the whole world.

It seems like recently the only reason I have a gym membership is because it is at a good location that I can change my clothes at to go running LOL. I need to do more weight training, and I guess I have been trying to do some speed work there once a week. That is the goal tonight.
