Cirque du Phénomène

Back to the gym I go. It’s the best medicine I’ve discovered thus far. Nothing (that I’ve tried at least or would want to try) rivals the wonderful RUSH and release from pain that happens around 20 minutes into a good cardio-groove. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhh, yes! If we could bottle that exercise-induced rush and sell it, we'd be gazillionaires--it truly is the best medicine! I think the knowledge of this is what gets me to the gym at least half of the time.

I love reading about your weight-training... I can relate to that sublime feeling of floating after a great lifting effort. It's neat that we share the same (or similar) goals. =) Don't feel badly about your bi's and anterior delts--these are classically the most difficult muscles to train for most women, as we just don't have them. Also, 40 lb pull-downs are very respectable for a female, whether you're using a straight bar or a rope. =)

Yay for today's bike and big hill challenge for your strong quads and glutes!!

Heee, thanks for the encouragement! I am just frustrated at the loss of strength I've experienced due to my gym absence since beginning my new job. But, now that I have my priorities straight (gym first then work:-) I'll gain my strength back and then some.

I too love reading your workout posts. They are so inspirational - that woman across the way, doing her routine, that looks fantastic and makes you push through that last impossible rep :-)
