2010 Gym #11: Pushing it…
Yesterday, we hit the gym. I wasn’t particularly feeling like it, but I made myself run 1.5 miles prior to our weights workout. I worked hard on my pace, making sure to slow down my earlier laps so I wasn’t roasted by the halfway point. I opted for a 5/1 negative split, meaning I ran five laps, then walked one. I got through it in 18 minutes, which wasn’t that bad considering I was actively trying to keep a slower pace at the beginning of the run.
For the rest of the workout, I upped many of my weights (especially the arms) and was feeling it this morning. It is partially my own fault, I opted for a cheeseburger instead of my protein shake and I think that the protein shake helps my muscle recovery much better. But cheeseburgers taste good.
That’s all for today, you’ll get my karate update tomorrow morning since I somehow got one day behind.
