So I decided last night I was going to go to the gym this morning and do an upper body workout with the weight machines. My husband looks at me like I am crazy..lol.. he knows how much I hate the gym. He said, you do realize even though you are going before work it will still be packed in there. I said I know, I am trying to get over my dislike of working out in a crowed gym.
Well I tried. I did not like it. I don't know why I thought it would be different. I felt so awkward using the machines and I was never able to really focus or get in a good grove. I am just going to stick to doing my own workouts at home on days I am not running. I can do push ups, squats, sit ups, ect.. Maybe it would feel better if I had a friend to go with me, but I don't, so I am not going back.

I really hope you are able to find someone to work out with. I used to hate gyms, but I love them now. I did like them before surgery as well, but only after I had a couple of weeks with a personal trainer. It was awesome. And it made me fall in love with the gym. Either way, good luck.

Thank you @Meryline.
I just ordered some resistance bands so I can work my upper body a little more at home in addition to the push ups, sit ups ect.
I love running and never thought I would, so there is always hope for the gym. I think for right now I am just going to focus on my running and workout at home. Once I get to the point where I can run a 5k and start really being able to get a good amount of miles in on a weekly basis, I will re-evaluate the gym.
