I think this are the most relevant things to do before running. Really, it sucks to have uncomfortable underwear getting in your booty, having your lips chapped/dry, wanting to go to the bathroom… having a pain, etc. These are some of the things, and they are optional really, but there are more! What things do you do before running? Some runners use vaseline but I don’t know a lot about that really.

Spot on

This reminds me: buy more socks.

Undressed Skeleton: After my intense workout, I thought I deserved some delicious food!...

After my intense workout, I thought I deserved some delicious food! Those banana-egg pancakes just screamed my name! I put a little twist on these ones this morning!

Instead of using a full egg, I used three egg whites. I also added 1 scoop of protein powder. (bought at Whole Foods…

There are no mirrors in our gym because we don’t care what you look like.
In fact, we don’t care how old you are, or whether you’re male or female. We don’t care what colour your skin is either. Or if you’re overweight or loaded with muscle. Or if you’re tall or short. Or blond. Or brunette.
We treat everyone like an athlete, and there’s no profiling here.
Traditional fitness facilities are loaded with mirrors. They’re everywhere. If you stand right in most facilities, you can see your rear delts and your pecs at the same time, or you can line yourself up with precision to surreptitiously check out the cutie around the corner. Very clever use of light and glass.
But the mirrors don’t lift the weight, and they don’t help you fix your form….
We judge you on performance. Are you improving? Are you getting stronger? Are you getting faster? We write down what we lift and how fast we lifted it because that gives us a solid number that doesn’t lie.
Two hundred pounds went up five times. Fran was under 5 minutes. You ran our loop around the block under 3 minutes. You beat a personal record. You got stronger. Or faster. Or both.
You improved.
No mirror will tell you that.
We’re actually putting mirrors in the bathrooms very soon. But they’re not there for you to evaluate your appearance.
They’re there so you can look yourself in the eye and ask one important question:
Did you give your very best effort in the workout?

Hope yall had a happy new years! now get your ass to the gym.
