PT Session!

Here's what happened ....

Met PT Dave. Nice, young, my height (bonus!), blonde and muscles!

5mins warm up on rower whilst telling him I've run for almost 5yrs, done a couple of marafuns, want to lose at least 2st etc.

Then he tells me what we are going to do boxing!
Then some boxing "circuits"
then some weights

So 1-1 boxing (never done that before), 3 sets of 1mins doing punches then "Hooks" (?) with him holding pads. This made me sweat buckets, HR hit 192 and arms ached.

Then 2 rounds of:1min boxing against the kick boxing piler thing that stands on the floor1min stepping on a stepper then throwing 2 punches and stepping downthen 10 sit ups with 2 punches at top of the sit up. To say this was exhausting is an understatement!

My arms turned to jelly and even now, hours later, they ache and I've lost all strength!

The boxing was followed by squats using a gym ball on the wall, upright row, chest press and curls all on the ball oh and some other weights thing too which I can't remember what it's called! I was literally dripping like a tap!

So now I will tell mum I want money for b'day and will book in for 6 weekly sessions (get 6x 30mins for the price of 5 that way)! In the mean time I need sleep oh and some new arms!

Oooh, ooooh, boxing is just ACE!! I used to go to a marvellous class and you should have seen my arms! It also really tightens up your waist/midriff area...and is soooo good for getting rid of all that pent up energy.

You'll become addicted ;)

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...
