yesterday, m and i redeemed our dealpop coupon for 1 month of membership at trifit. essentially, it’s just a nicer 24 hour fitness. it certainly ain’t core performance. it’s hard *not* to think about core performance at any gym – a new standard has been set and most everything is a disappointment in comparison.

enough whining and desperate longing for that which no longer exists…i got on the treadmill and, although my first instinct is to run, i know i have to keep that one in check. over the course of 30 minutes, i reached an incline of 5 and a speed of 3.5. i needed something to get my heart rate up and make me sweat and it worked. not only that, my gamble paid off: today my legs are tired, but my hip is not.
