Did you know we have already completed 50 days of 2021?
Wow…Time flies when you’re having fun!
I want to tell you guys about one of things that my wife and I have done in the 50 days…
We went to the gym.
Not just one day…not just two days…not just 10 days…20 days…30 days…not even 40 days.
I went to the gym 41 of the first 50 days of 2021.
Jane went 45 days of the first 50!
I think this is quite an accomplishment. We actually started our gym time on December 26. Our membership was a gift to each other for Christmas. I have never been a gym type of guy – never really enjoyed going to and working out at a gym. I’ve always preferred just running the roads near my house but Janet is sort of a gym rat. She LOVES working out. She had a gym membership in Athens and joined a Crossfit box when we moved to our current location 4 years ago. She still goes to Crossfit and to the gym – many times doing both in the same day!
So there is something to just showing up and seeing what happens. There is something to just getting to the gym almost every day and then identifying as a person who goes to the gym almost everyday. We don’t overdo the workouts – we don’t want to get injured – but we go and we move and then we get the hydromassage (AMAZING benefit and I do believe it helps with the recovery after a hard workout). I have reduced my 5k time to below 27 minutes. We both have increased our time on the torturous stair machine from 5 minutes without stopping to 20 minutes. I won’t reveal what weights we are working with but I will say that Janet is very strong and I think she gets a kick out of letting me know.
We tease each other that the gym is now our place for a date. This is ok. Our very first date ever was at IKEA. 13 years later we have transitioned to the gym…and it feels good.
(Later I may tell you what else we’ve done with our first 50 days…wink, wink)
