THANKS ANNE
Last night I went to my first Body Attack class. BUT I piked after half an hour. I couldn't keep up and did not really like the instructor. She was young and slim but oh so serious.
I was very tired as I had gone to running training at 6am, (and completed it) It included: 2 1km runs (well I walked some of it but ran most) running up and down a hill ten times, pushing and pulling a 120kg man up the same hill 10 times, doing repetitions at top and bottom of hill of star jumps and step ups. I almost kept up with the leaders in the group which was amazing. Best I have ever done. I also went for a long walk in the afternoon.
Went to step class this morning, cannot get over how hard it is and yet it is also so much fun. Felt great after it. The instructor has a great sense of humour and I find that really makes a difference. AND I did 12 pushups on my toes. Last year I couldn't even do 1 on my toes.
Busy day at work and lots to do at home. Tonight I sat down to do some blogging and finally found my way to Annes blog. (I had lost it after her host crashed their hard drive)I was catching up on her news and reading how she is attempting bike reading in consideration of doing a TRI. I stopped reading mid post and went out to the garage and found DD's old bike. Covered in cobwebs and all. I jumped on and RODE round the block. Now apart from my one attempt last year I have not ridden a bike in more years than I can remember. I rode around the block. Oh I said that already. Can you tell I am excited? This block is only 2 km and has 1 small hill and 1 long gentle incline. Did I say small and gentle? They felt like mountains. But I didn't stop and I am very pleased with myself. Thanks Anne for the motivation. Now this block I rode around is very boring and I never want to walk it so now I have something else I can do in the evenings when boredom hits. Better than raiding the pantry. I figure 2kms a couple of times a week will be good for me. Of course in the morning I may change my mind if my butt is too sore for training. The seat was very hard. But tonight I am just very very pleased with myself.
Oh and M thanks for your idea of doing something good each day. I went out tonight and planted some prairie roses in my garden..just for my own pleasure.
