myride/couch to 5km

[supertinks]

So I failed to update last night when I did my spinning, so here goes a double whammy on the exercise updates for you!

Monday

Spinning! Got the bus from work straight to the gym, and this time did option C for the warm up, work out and cool down sections. Hard work again, although I've realised I'm sort of halfway between level one and level two, because I can mostly keep up with the main woman but every now and again I have to admit defeat and chill out at level one.

I think I prefer options A, to the others. I will test this theory by doing options A again on Wednesday and seeing how that goes.

Tuesday

Today was Couch to 5km running! When I came home from work, it was very hot and sunny outside, so we opted for waiting till it cooled down. So we chilled out and had dinner (chilli and tacos), and then when it was cool, we headed out. Because we'd recently eaten, we didn't think it was wise to push ourselves too hard, so we stuck to the 90sec/120sec rotation for one more session.

The first 90secs were horrendous, but then I warmed up into it and in the end it wasn't so bad!


Remains to be seen how well I cope by the end of the week. Spinning again tomorrow!

Blah - I went out to go and do jogging this evening, warmed up and everything once the weather had cooled a bit, and as soon as I started my left ankle, which I twisted a little on descent of the fell at the weekend, went twinge and I had to hobble back to the house. Poo. At this rate I'll have to let you race on ahead and I shall wheeze my way pathetically behind you. :-(

my right ankle's been playing up since the cat show weekend (driving that damned heavy-pedalled car of mine!) so I've been wearing my ankle support when doing my exercise since, and its not really caused me any trouble.
