I did my first full strength training workout in a week this afternoon. I had a big breakfast at about 10 AM (eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes) and headed to the gym at about 11:30. Surprisingly, the gym in Greenbelt was packed. I couldn’t even warm up on an elliptical machine because they were all in use, so I warmed up on a tread mill. The weight room was busy too, but it emptied out pretty quickly around noon and except for the elliptical, none of this interfered with my workout.

The whole workout felt good and I even started a 4th group, but I wanted to get back home because I had a lot of chores to do and I wanted to get back to work on the book database. Tomorrow is my off day and then cardio on Monday.
