I hooked up with a local triathlete who's got an enormous heart and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much enthusiasm for getting lazy people, like myself, motivated and moving. So, now he tells me what to do, and I more or less do it, depending on the day and whether or not I feel like getting yelled at via e-mail the next day for not doing it.
:D
Not that I would eeeeeeeeeever flake out on a workout.
Um, yeah.
I injured my back in mid March and have more or less been sidelined since, but I'm getting back into the swing of things. When I'm at Eric's, I tend to fall off the motivational wagon and let the workout slide, but I'm working on that. He's in a quiet neighbourhood that's great for walking/running down the middle of the street. Sometimes he comes with me, sometimes not, but it works out. (no pun intended, of course)
Right now I'm on a 32-34 mins/day schedule, walking, with 3x1 min intervals. I know it's not much, but considering running for 20 seconds at a time used to feel like the end of the world, I think I'm doing pretty good. I found a gravel track in my neighbourhood, so the pain in my shins is considerably less, now. Yay! Which means I can move faster and harder. Yay! Which means I'm burning more energy/fat. Yay!
And someday, I'll wear shorts while working out.
In DAYLIGHT, even!
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
