Eleven
I did not run 11 miles this morning. In fact I folded when I saw the weather today: 22 degrees, 26 mph winds gusting at 34 mph, windchill 5. For some reason, I just can’t bare to face the wind today. I’m trading in my run for some much needed yoga.
January 4th is looming. The Monday after New Year’s Day is always crazy in the gym. While I was thinking about all the resolutioners that flood in year after year, I came up with an idea. Every person that walks into the gym due to a resolution, should be required to sign a contract promising that they will still be coming to the gym in April.
Let’s consider this #11 on yesterday’s list.
11. Make a contract with yourself, gym partner, best friend or significant other to stick to your goal. Write out the contract. Include your S.M.A.R.T. plan. Sign, date it, and keep it visible. Make it your screen saver or desktop background on your home computer.

Coming up on FCITC:
- My Good Riddance Day
- How my 1/2 marathon training is going.
* This is one of the quietest weeks in the gym. If you’ve been wanting to try a crowded class or new workout, this is the perfect week. The gym will belong to you!
I LOVE your tags…always so funny!! I worked at the gym yesterday and it was DEAD. Which is why I’m excited to hit it this afternoon and a get a long luxurious workout in before it packs up again.
I don’t blame you for not wanting to run in that weather! I’ve yet to run outside wince the beginning of December…I’m too chicken.

Haha. Agreed about the contract!
Although the gym I go to is ALWAYS packed.
I wish I was in town for this week when it may be on the less-full side. Oh well!
Dude it is COLD today! I thought I had ghost in bedroom this morning but it was just the wind lol
wow that is super cold!
i think its so crazy how the gym is crowded after near years! by Feb..it dies down majorly
I’m already trying to figure out when to go to the gym in the next few weeks since it’s always super crowded for the first few weeks in January. Unfortunately, my gym was also much more crowded yesterday and today than I would have expected… I guess it’s a good thing, but I was really hoping for lots of space and few people…
I do NOT blame you! It is super cold and gonna be cold for awhile I’m afraid
The contract idea is amazing! I agree completely. Rockland was FREEZING today so I can see why you didn’t want to run outside.
Sometimes you just need a plan b when it comes to exercise! I would have made the same choice!
