So, Jeremy and I tried out a new class at our gym last night...TRX.
In short, it kicked my butt.
I know I am not strong...in fact, I am rather weak. People say, "Oh, you're fit"....ok, I do have a "general" level of some amount of fitness. I'm not delusional, I know I am more in shape than a lot of people....
However, just because I ran 3 marathons in a 12-month period does NOT mean I am truly fit by any stretch of the imagination.
And...TRX made that clear last night.
I am so weak. There are definite gaping holes in my fitness/abilities. I need to get stronger....and I KNOW my running will improve as I get stronger.
My "training" goal for this year....to be my strongest, most fit ever. Secondarily, I would love to qualify for the Boston Marathon (that's no secret! I talk about that all of the time!!)....and in order to get there...things need to change. I need to become stronger. I need to be MORE healthy (which p r o b a b l y means I need to eat better, too!!).
Jeremy and I might sign up for the TRX class (last night was just a trial), we haven't completely decided yet. It's kind of expensive. However...I know that I DO need someone to show me/tell me what to do in the way of strength training (I kind of just float around the weight room if/when I'm in there and do random crap)...and I definitely need to be held accountable to actually DO it. Sadly, paying for a class like this is definitely one way to definitely assure I have the discipline/motivation to follow through with it.
There's only so much I can do on my own...right?
