Until this week I have not taken much advantage of the workout area that we have at the station - but then I have not wanted to do something as crazy as a Duathlon before either. This week I ran on the treadmill a couple of times and rode the other two days. Today is a rest day, but mostly because we had a lot going on today and I wanted to devote my energy toward the church survey, errands and getting dinner ready for our friends later this evening.
ANYWAY - I like the fact that there is a workout area and it's mighty convenient to go and run during my lunch break and if I feel really ambitious I could even lift some weights. HA! I know I have to do that at some point, but I think I need to get comfortable with being up there in the first place...the fire station is such a manly place and sometimes it is hard being one of only a few women there. Especially where the "gym" in concerned. The other day one of the guys was up there when I arrived. Oh well, might as well make myself as much of a spectacle as he was - no big deal. I'll stay out of his way and vice-versa. I have to get over myself anyway...they know me and what my goals are...so all is well.
I'm getting psyched for the duathlon even though it is a ways off. I know that it will be here before I know it and whether I'm ready or not is another deal altogether. At least I will have worked at preparing for the day!
