Write it Down..

I've had a lot to write today. I don't have many of those days where I can think of lots of topics that come to mind.

I had an ah, ha moment today. I had my first weight training class this evening.  After being paired up come then my partner happened to leave early, so I joined another group of women.

Both of the women are runners, 5 years and 8 years or so running.. I only have 1-1-2 years or less under my belt.. I would have thought they would have been running for years.

I was assuming the other women were in it for speed.. not the case. They really didn't care too much about time. They both enjoyed the long distance running, Marathons. They both run about 6 to 8 miles per day. Which is exactly where I am in running. One does a lot of trail running the other indoors. I do a mixture but mostly enjoy outdoor pavement/dirt road running.

These women were a bit younger then me by a few years. I thought they were older. Oops. They both had cellulite and fat pockets around the middle. You could tell they were runners by their calves, but nothing else. Looks can be deceiving..

I did figure out something I have been doing right... working out with weights. I might not be stick thin, or 100% cellulite free.. but I'm far better off having combined cardio and weights. You can see it from my body.. compared to the other 2 that just run. I know I should not compare myself to others. I just like to see the differences in my age range.
