Session #15
Jul. 2nd, 2009 07:51 amAt our last session Mr. W. says to me, "next time we're going to do a good old-fashioned body building workout."
Yesterday I realised that means isolate each muscle and systematically kill them cold-blooded. We did upper body and already today the insides of my elbows, biceps, shoulders and upper back is hurting. Not my triceps yet.
And, as usual, we started with abs.
Tomorrow, since I have the day off, I'm scheduled for 7am instead of 3:30pm. Yay! We're doing lower body muscles. Boo.
This morning I ran on the treadmill. I ran about 2.65 miles in 29 minutes. That's alternating my speeds (intervals) and a five minute warmup walk included. WHY can't I just stay on long enough to get to 3 miles? It's like, once I get to 30 minutes, I just want to fall off the treadmill and die. Yet, I jumped rope for another few minutes. Couldn't that energy be better directed? Like, toward getting to 3 miles? Can't I slow down and conserve some?
But it was nice we did upper body yesterday. It didn't interfere with the run at all- except when dropping my shoulders, it was a little achey.

I remember your financial plan -- I hope it all keeps working so you can keep doing this. :D
