Some cracking little workouts today...
So my journey back continued with my first cardio session in over 4 weeks.
And my first session ever on the watt bike.
7.30am
10 minutes easy warmup
20 minute time trial
My right foot felt out of place, so I'm going to need to either address my cleat setup on my shoes or the pedals aren't set up correctly.
The session I found brutally hard with nothing in my legs after the first 5 minutes, couldn't find a rhythm and was continually scanning through my iPhone looking for the right track. Only really found anything that worked in the last few minutes.
Averaged 199 watts over 20 minutes which was 12,200m
I was in pieces, so lots of work to do. My training partner Niall managed 270 watts, so I'm way behind but I have a number to work from.
2.30pm
400m Run 10 pushups, 10 squats, 10 lunges, 10 crunches
400m Run 15 pushups, 15 squats, 15 lunges, 15 crunches
400m Run 10 pushups, 10 squats, 10 lunges, 10 crunches
400m Run 10 pushups, 10 squats, 10 lunges, 10 crunches
400m Run 10 pushups, 10 squats, 10 lunges, 10 crunches
As many repeats as possible in 10 minutes of:
20kg db Thrusters x5
16kg Db curls x7
24" Platform jumps x9
Managed 9.
Last night I went to a psychic fair.
I know contentious.
I've been having readings every few years for the last 20 years. Some have been good others not.
Last night's was one of the best.
Not because the information was particularly accurate or surprising, but because of the effect it's had on me.
On the 9th April I had this operation to remove a lump from my shoulder. Luckily it wasn't anything serious. But my body is sensitive to drugs and for the first two weeks when I should have been resting I barely slept more than 2 hours a night.
I'm not sure whether that was because my body didn't need the rest or the after effects of the drugs. Usually I register 6000-8000 Nike fuel points a day. While I was off that number was nearer 300.
So for the last month I've barely slept.
Then came the post op depression.
3 weeks of not working out when I am so used to being strong and fit.
The Good Wife episode where Will dies... all about regrets
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty...
Then last night.
She said something very simple and perhaps for the very first time I heard it.
It's your life and you get to choose how to live it.
Let me say that slowly...it's MY life and I get to CHOOSE how I live it.
I've been thinking about that today. A lot.
It effects every part of my life.
How do I want to live my life?
I want to play my A game. Fuck people that want to be average and play small. I've realised that the only a problem is if they expect me to place small and be part of their game.... truthfully... I'm not interested.
I want to radically change who I am.
A-gamer all the time, go after what I want and refuse to lose.
What would that mean in your life?
Do it...
