Back to the gym

I’ve not been to the gym in ages and felt that I was losing a bit of upper body strength and so I went to my local Virgin Active today doing three miles on the treadmill, followed by a decent weights session.

On the treadmill, I found myself next to a young lad who looked like a lithe proper runner, he’d only been on a couple of minutes longer than me and so I decided to follow his speed, increasing whenever he did. He obviously realised this and it soon became a bit of a game where he kept going progressively faster. I was in buckets of sweat when my three miles were up and gave him a rue smile as I got off the treadmill and he continued.

As for the weights, well I’d forgotten how much I like a spot of resistance training, I really need to get back into the habit of doing a couple or three sessions a week.
