I figure I probably should post about this mornings workout, today we had to do another run, he tried to make us go twice but I faked injury so I could stop lol!!!
The circuit he makes us do I believe is 2.4 kms, but it starts with an uphill, not a little uphill but a massive uphill, by the time I reach the top my calves are screaming, they hurt so much I just want to sit down and let them recover, and this I would do if bloody mike wasn’t on my back, today he decided it would be a good idea to run with us, and of course because I am the slowest I got stuck with him! Which to be honest wasn’t actually a bad thing, he made me run, in places I would never had, had I been doing it alone, run is probably pushing it a bit far, it was definitely more of a wog!!
He told me if I did it without getting lapped by the really good runners, that he wouldn’t make me do the circuit again, so on the last 100metres or so , he told me the others were behind me and about to lap me, well no way in hell was doing the whole thing again, so I kept going right to the end, turns out he was full of shit, the others were nowhere in sight!!
What I find fustrating about this whole thing, is it is not my cardio fitness that lets me down, don’t get me wrong I get puffed but I can handle that, it is no longer the wheezing, feel like I will not be able to take another breath puffed, it is just breathing pretty heavy lol.
It is my body, my calves kill me, my foot is in agony, it is like having a continuous cramp, and I am so heavy, so when I do run, it hurts my knees, it hurts my back and it pisses me off that my body lets me down, my fitness is getting up there, I just need to get the weight down so my body will catch up.
We had coffee after class today which was lovely, sandi, one of the awesome girls in my class was showing me her fitbit bracelet, which logs all your exercise then transfers it to an app on your phone and onto my fitness pal. I have been tracking my eating with my fitness pal this week which is awesome, and think I will go get myself one of these fitbits, it is good to see everything in black and white and have all your exercise and food in front of you so you can see exactly where you are.
Oh and I was just kidding, I didn’t fake an injury but it is definitely something I will keep in mind if he makes me do burpees again
