Just another Monday

What is the deal with not telling someone that they have put you with a different trainer, well that happened to me tonight Mark wasn't able to be there for the session so he got another trainer to take the session but didn't call to let me know. I didn't catch the trainers name but he was nice even though I have seen him at the gym and didn't really want to train with him but thought to myself that I would give him a chance plus I needed a good workout (if I would have done it by myself it would have been an easy workout). Today was leg day and so he had me doing a couple of different exercises on different machines, each exercise I did between 2 and 3 sets, in between the sets he had me doing some crunches, bridges, plank( I held it for 1 minute very proud of myself), superman and holding it for one minute, and then finished up with back extensions. Overall this wasn't a bad workout.
After my training session I went up to do some cardio, I really wanted to use the treadmill but most of them were being used except for one so I hop on the treadmill and hit the manual button to make the machine go but it would not turn on so I hopped off the machine and went on the elliptical as I was just starting this workout someone was finished with a treadmill so I got off the elliptical machine and took that treadmill. I knew that I had to do at least 2o minutes of cardio since it was a training session day but also had told myself that if I felt like I could do more than I needed to do at least 30 minutes. I kept with the walking 4 minutes at 3.4 speed and running 1 minute at 4.1 speed. I ended up doing 35 minutes on the treadmill for 2.06 miles with an average pace of 17:08.
I also got new running shoes they are Nike Air Pegasus and also the Asics gel but am thinking that I may take those back since they are now rubbing my feet but I didn't notice that when I was trying them on.

MILES FOR THE WEEK: 4.69
