Weight, Weight, Don't Tell Me

After a bit of research and a realization that my weak runner's arms need some help... I have decided to buy a free weight set. Today, it has arrived and assuming I can put it together correctly I will be adding a more structured resistance program to my schedule. Otherwise there will be a loud crash, a frantic dash by Lynnea to see what happened now and hopefully (in this case) some hearty laughter as I lay in a pile of Weider rubble.

I had been thinking about a gym membership for this aspect of training and decided that spending $400 once was better than $400 many many many many times... so I did just that. This Weider Core 600 Weight Bench is going to be the envy of NW North Carolina... just as long as I can get it home in my car...

Despite my best efforts at laziness I did not neglect to purchase the weight to go with this... My education in exercise science prepared me for this life decision. An education well spent! The next time you see me, I will be lifting a 45 pound bar with a 2.5 pound weight on each side. Lookout summertime, here I come!
