Just a quick check in.

15 minutes of weights yesterday and a 16k run that included a few other things that I cannot be bothered to type out! 90 seconds of wall sits.

This morning, I ellipticalled my way through 90 minutes at level 10 again. Barely broke a sweat but was all uncoordinated (not much more different than usual) for a few minutes after it. No wall sits!

Quickly logging this morning in - really strong 14kms today. 45 minute 10k outdoors, followed by 15 minutes of 'tabata sprints' on a treadmill for fun - 4kms (I will explain this some other time - needless to say my legs were toast by the end - in a good way of course). 7 minutes of jumping rope. 80 seconds of wall sits.

Running is so incredibly emotional. Spending so much time alone with your thoughts and endorphins for hours at a time. There is a welling. There is a flood. There is a flow - of thoughts, emotions and sensations. I am so very grateful for this outlet. I run because there are so many people who cant.

Thanks be to God.

I mixed it up today because I *need* this to be fun again. This is what I came up with: 10 minutes on the elliptical at level 10, 5 minutes on treadmill at 17km/hr, 15 minutes on the elliptical at level 10 (the last 2 minutes at level 7), 1 minute of bike intervals, 7 minutes of jumping rope, ending with 100 stair sprints. 25 minutes of weights. 66 seconds of wall sits. The whole thing lasted 90 minutes!

Of Masochism and the idiotic....

I think I am a masochist after all.

Why else would I *choose* - for me atleast - difficult endeavors? The easy? *shrug*; it bores me.

Some people can run/workout for just a few miles and call it a day and feel good. Me? Oh no, I need to run long, longer and even the short has to leave me breathless and wrecked. Only then do I appreciate the reward afterwards.

I generally think I am a lazy person. I really truly want things to be easy. And I go so far as to think things should be easy. But they never are, atleast not for me.

Therefore, the conclusion must be that I dont want easy things in life after all because I continue to do things that are hard, and I would go as far as to say that it flies in the face of good sense. Hmm...then I guess masochist is just a fancy word for idiot. Which is how I feel most of the times anyway...

An easy 75 minutes 15kms. 80 seconds of wall sits!

Nice to feel sweat leaking into my mouth. 10k in 50 minutes on the treadmill - easy one to get the blood moving. 80 seconds of wall sits.

Sunday is a day of rest...!

2 updates!

Yesterday's session lasted 70 minutes. 10 minutes of rope followed by 350 stair sprints. 2 sets of 50 second wall sits.

This morning was my easy day. 6 minutes of rope and 35 minutes on the elliptical at level 10. 25 mins of weights. 70 seconds of wall sits.
