Tried a new weight lifting system today called Strive. It’s circuit training weight lifting with different settings for each set of 3. I didn’t feel like I got a very good workout since I am used to free weights as opposed to machines, but we’ll see how sore I am tomorrow. The nice thing is that it is quick. People swear they get results within 2 weeks, I’ll test it out.

Now that school has started and my youngest is in for half the day, I have a bit more time to workout, mainly lift, since that seems to be on the bottom of my work out list lately.

In an effort to save gas, I ran to the gym, lifted and ran back. I always forget how hard it is to run decently after lifting, especially when I haven’t lifted in months! The kids start school on Monday, so that will help me get back into a routine which will include lifting and more running.
