Sagalicious!

So, I've been keeping this post to myself for a while, but I figured its about time to comment on the behavior in men's locker rooms. Now, as my wife can attest, I am no prude. I can be just as messy and disgusting as the next guy, but I draw the line at weird, crazy behavior in locker rooms.

For the past year and a half, I've been going to the WVU Rec Center. It's a nice gym with all kinds of equipment and programs. I love it. It's convenient and clean.

The problem is all the old men who feel the need to prance around the locker room with nothing on. I think this is a generational thing. People my age and younger don't walk around with their junk hanging out. Most of us put a towel on. Not these guys. From the monute I get in the locker room, I see saggy, old man body parts. Ohh, and when I say saggy, I mean ssssssaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggyyyyyyyyyyyy. I bet there are more boobs in the men's locker room than the women's.

Earlier this year, I actually had a guy stand in front of me while I was sitting on a bench in the locker room. He decided he needed to talk to the guy standing behind me. And instead of going around, he talked to him, buck naked, in front of me. With his junk right in my face. I actually had to say something, kind of like, "Hey do you mind getting your penis out of my face?"

WTF? Do I live in bizarro world?

Elliptical and running today. Lifting as well. Elliptical and pool tomorrow.

Woot!!

My new love is the Elliptical machine

David gave me the idea of checking out the elliptical machine in one of his posts earlier this year. So, this week I spent some time on one at the gym. It's pretty cool. My heel has been giving me some problems with my running so I figured I would do the elliptical to give my feet a break. I'm glad I did.

Next week, I'll be in the pool and lifting with some more elliptical I think.

I've been lifting this week as well. In spite of Marci's comments, I've been hitting it pretty hard. Not like Arnold, but still...(yeah let it play, it's worth it)



Woot!

And then there was no turkey...

Whew!! Thanksgiving is over. Thank God. I thought I was going to burst with poultry goodness. Steph and I traveled to Virginia to spend the holiday with family last Wednesday and got back yesterday afternoon. We didn't get much running in (or anything else for that matter), but we did enjoy ourselves.

This week we get back on the workout train. Steph just got back from her run and I'll be back in the gym tomorrow. I think I'm going for a swim as well. Last week, the pool was closed the entire week for maintenance. I'll make up for it this week hopefully.

I REALLY need to get new shoes as well so maybe this weekend I'll grab a pair. I've got like 400+ miles on them.

BTW, Steph and I saw Australia this weekend (you know that sappy movie with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman). Unless you just want to gawk at them, it's really not worth it. Although, I have to say that Nicole Kidman is hawt in a weird, Cruella Deville kind of way!!

Woot!

So I've been a really bad blogger

Well folks, I haven't been blogging recently (as if you can't tell). These last three weeks have been a bear. But, things are finally getting back to normal.

I had to travel a bunch for work and just got from Dallas this Friday after having spent the week in San Diego. In between those trips I ran the Richmond Half-Mary (which I'll post about soon).

Today I hit the gym. No begins my winter training which will consist of lifting, swimming, and some spinning, along with a little running. I'm really burned out on running at the moment. I ran two miles todau and I was ready for it to be over. My right heel is hurting a bit too, so that probably adds to me not wanting to run much.

I am excited about weight training again though. Steph and I went to see the new James Bond movie yesterday and I have to say that I'm a little jealous of Daniel Craig.

I have a bit of a man-crush on him (as well as Christian Bale). Anyway, I need to harden up some, so I'm back in the weight room. This winter, however, I'm doing my lifting a little differently. I'm going to be concentrating more on my core muscle groups (abs, back, etc.).

That's about it for now. I'll probably swm tmw (with a short run) and then back in the gym for weights on Wed.

Woot!

Blog apologies

Sorry for taking so long to post. I've been mega-busy and tomorrow I leave for San Diego for 5 days. Unfortunately, it's work related. I got out and ran 3 miles on Monday but that's about it. My heel is hurting me for some reason. It feels like there is no cushion between my heel and the ground. I have no idea what it is. But, I can tell you it hurts like hell.

I still have to decide what I'm doing for the Richmond Half. I haven't completely ruled out running it, but if my heel doesn't get better, I may be on the sidelines cheering for everyone.

Next week I plan on starting my gym routine again. This winter I'll be focusing on my core. Lots of ab and back work. I'm actually kind of excited as I'm a little burned out with just running. I can't wait until I really start my Ironman training. I can't wait to liven things up a bit.

I've mentioned it before, but I'm getting a coach this winter. I guess I could figure out the training myself for the Ironman stuff, but I think I'd like to get a professional opinion on training.

Congrats to David on adding a new runner to his family!!

Woot!
