Today, I decided to go to a local gym that I am thinking about joining. I went with two of my new colleagues after work.
Workout
Bike- 10 mins
Core Conditioning Class- 30 mins
Elliptical- 15 mins
The group fitness class was a psychological battle. I am so accustomed to being the most trained person in the class. I performed as well as most people, but I didn't dominate the class like I usually do. There were also a few exercises that I had to modify to protect my baby-like feet.

Reflection
I am really glad that I stepped over this hurdle and had enough confidence to go to a public gym. On the other hand, I am really going to have to keep encouraging myself to make progress, no matter how small it is. Also, I have to stop comparing myself to other people (who didn't have to get both of their ankles reconstructed) and my old elitely trained self.
