Accountability: You Guys Suck
It’s a good job I’m fairly motivated because you guys suck at this ‘keeping me accountable’ lark. One nag on twitter last week and then nothing this week. Useless, bloody useless. ;)
However, I did get up and off my arse on Monday: I finally took my copy of 30 day shred out of its over-packaged Amazon box and did a level 1 workout. I kept up with the lady doing the more difficult workout (two women, same workout, one more vigorous than the other). It was pretty good, I definitely felt like it was working out parts of my body that don’t get touched when I’m running, although made me feel ridiculously unfit as I was panting by the end (despite being able to run a good >7km now).
Wednesday night we (local running group) did interval training on the local playing fields of 4 x 1 min, 4 x 1 min 30 and then 4 x 1 min runs with 1 min 30 “rest” walks in between. It sounds easy but it was bloody hard work keeping up the momentum. However, I managed to actually run each time I was supposed to be running and even managed some faster runs in the final 2 of the 1 minute blocks. I was really pleased with that because up until recently I’d have been slow jogging or walking some of the last running sets. Progress! We then finished off with a 5 minute paired task, running up then walking down a steep grass bank (now THAT is hard work).
Tonight should be another running night but I’ve over-worked my thighs this week so may have to give it a miss. Might even consider getting up early tomorrow AM to do my first parkrun instead, but that depends on a variety of factors and not least my laziness :p
