. . . makes for a very uncomfortable run. Yuck. It was like a solid mass in my lower abdomen. No, it wasn’t from breakfast, it was from the movie last night! So sick. As much as it tasted like heaven last night, this morning, it was a bad choice . . . “milk was a bad choice.” A bad choice and about 8000 calories! Not really that many, but too many for sure!
I woke up super early this morning (5:45), so excited to be on holidays that I couldn’t sleep in! So, what did I do? Researched and read my favourite blogs of course . . . while enjoying a cup of coffee. It was really unfortunate my coffee tin was empty this morning and the coffee I was enjoying was yesterday’s warmed up in the microwave. Gross, yet happiness made it delicious . . . it also might have been the French Vanilla Splenda that I added.
After I had had enough (cut myself off) I decided that my holiday resolution had to start today! RUN. WEIGHTS. Run. Weights. run. weights. I managed to succeed on day one! One run down, 17 to go. Uhhhhh….mmmmmight have to look into that again.
I’m still on the basic run program from 2 weeks ago . . . I have been having such a difficult time getting a run in when work has been going full tilt and I’m continuing to spin up a storm. Excuses, excuses . . . I have none now.
Here’s what I managed to do this morning . . . with my favourite spin routine pumping through my ears.
Minutes 0-5 Warm up at Speed 4.o (I busted out to Waka Waka by Shakira . . . almost sang out loud I was so into it . . . and no one else was in the gym!)
Min 5 – Speed 5.0 – pick that pace up to a steady light jog
6 – 5.3
7 – 5.6
8 – 6.0
9 – 6.5
10 – 5.0
Repeat 4 more times until 25 minutes, then pick a steady speed (I did 5.8) to maintain until minute 30.
Enjoy grooving on the treadmill. Careful not to fall off! I’ve seen that happen. Ouch . . . mostly hilarious.
