Long Run Sunday

This week has been a mostly unremarkable week in training. I took a couple days off when the weather sucked or I didn't feel up to it. I got in some good bike rides. I did my six miles this weekend at a 10:30 min/mile pace (my target Ten Miler race pace) with minimal effort. I've been slacking on my meager dumbbell arm routine and sit-ups. Meh.

Looking into signing up for a gym membership to give me somewhere to go during the winter. Not super thrilled about the idea of joining a gym, but I know in the dead of Minnesota winter I'm not gonna be outside on the road. My health insurance provides me with a discount at Bally's, but I'd much rather go to the Y. In either case, it's not all that cheap and I haven't decided yet if it really fits in my budget or not. $37/month is the discounted rate at Bally's, and $46/month is the rate at the Y. The Y seems to have more no-additional-charge classes but Bally's seems to have more amenities (that I probably wouldn't use anyway).
