As little man was at boys brigade tonight I got the opportunity to go to the gym/do some proper exercise (rather than a 10 mins run!).
Did 20 mins on the stepper - normally at 35 steps p/m but 30 today and hard work. Legs still feel tired from FLM and I CBA to try harder!
1500m on the rower - aimed for 8 mins and did 8:12, last 2 mins where hard work. Can't say how hard as I forgot to put on my HRM!
15mins tready!!! [I was on the stepper watching someone else on the tready (yes THE tready - small gym!) and thinking, me me me let me have a go! Especially as she was running lots!]
I started walking slowly, then slow, then fast, then a trot etc etc. During the 15mins (then 1min cool down so 16 in total) I did 1min at 10kmph, 30secs at 10.5kmph and 30secs at 11kmph. Felt great going so fast!! I don't usually venture that fast but it felt good and actaully fairly easy on the breathing, HR (as in not bursting through my ribs!) but again legs were tired and they restricted the times.
What was interesting was that 11kmph is about the speed for a GFA place (I think!)
As for the leg ... slight twinge on starting running for a couple of seconds but after that it was fine, and seems OK now too.
Again I won't do anything tomorrow - well OK I won't be doing anything all week! Apart from the 10 min walk to/from car/office so 20-25 mins walking each day.
Now the bath is calling!

strangly my left knee is sore today - I always said running was bad for you!
I have used an ice pack today so no need for the bath - but thanks for the kind offer Rob!!
