Woke up today determined to have a great day. Somehow, the Ipod was programmed to the letter 'T' and it read 'Tchaikovsky'. So I dont have a very calm disposition and dont ever listen to classical music unless I'm studying (cue rolling eyes). I decided to go with it. 'Coz, ya know, I was gonna have a great day dammit!

I put it on and went to the weights room and pumped iron to...errr...Tchaikovsky. Not too bad, got through it in 25 minutes, followed by a 50 minute run, 10 minutes of stairs and 7 minutes of skipping rope. My ponytail was high and mighty, 'coz ya know, I was having a great day!

Whatever! Bite me!
70 seconds of wall sits.

Woke up full of energy and a huge smile on my face. So dissappointed 5 minutes later when I realised that someone (!!!!) put ALL my running clothes in the laundry! I was SO annoyed! Theres a method to my workout laundry - I hang 'dry' them when I know I'm doing 2 hard workouts in a row - ya know, my lucky pair. Anyway, I now have to wait 3 hours (!!!!) till they get done and dry and I can be off. My runs and the stairs have been strong lately and I was SO dying to go.

I know this post is full of exclamations, but I cant contain my annoyance and energy. Apart from that, all is well. One of the blessing of running is that it belongs to no one but you, no one can take it away, the roads are always there, welcoming us no matter what we're going through. The roads are my church.

I will do at least 80 minutes of something in 3 hours!

X-Train

I had Maynard in my ears right from the get go this morning. Tool never fails to pump me up. I cranked up the resistance on the cross-trainer to its highest (10) and off I went. Worked up a pretty decent sweat and managed to spend a respectable amount of time on it. All of 70 minutes. I am so proud!!

30 minutes of weights, followed by 70 minutes on the elliptical at 10 and 90 seconds of wall sits.
