“tired” is probably the best way to describe me today. tired when i woke up. tired as i headed out to do my 1km intervals. my legs were tired doing that. then i slept the whole way to perth and was tired when i woke up! tough mudder recovery, hard intervals session on tuesday, more […]
so this morning the body rebelled and insisted on a rest day 🙂 it’s actually a good thing. instead of a cross-training day i ended up sleeping until just before 4am. having gone to bed at 8:30 last night, that’s a long sleep for me, and i needed it. overall i’m very pleased with the […]
wow this morning was tough. i woke up about 3am and my body hurt all over. battered, bruised, the blister under my left foot screaming “no, please don’t make me run 1km intervals today”. so i got up anyway, put on the running gear and headed out to smash out 4 x 1km intervals at […]
ok, so good news is that the cough seems to be gone. not-so-good news – i didn’t write any journal entries over the weekend, again. however… saturday i was doing tough mudder, and sunday i was recovering! i managed a 6.5km recovery run on sunday, and generally speaking i have pulled up ok, considering what […]
it seems so long ago that i agreed to join a tough mudder team. the last 6 months have marked so many milestones, heralded in so many changes from the “old me”, that it really seems as though a lifetime has passed by. metaphorically, it has. when i look back at that post, it was fairly […]
for this week’s episode we get into how rowing machines can be a fantastic option for runners, wannabe runners or anyone looking to lose weight and get fit. we also look at the power of habits, how they determine your behaviours, and how you can change your outcomes by changing habits… for more information on […]
so the irritating cough struck again last night, and this time I didn’t wake until 4:15am! today is a running rest day, so I just got on with heading to the office. abs and push-ups can be done later… overall i think things are improving, it really is just the tickly irritating cough component that’s […]
thanks to the irritating cough keeping me awake last night, I didn’t surface until 3:15am today. fortunately it’s a rest day for abs AND push-ups. so just the 1km intervals needed doing. but the chesty cough wanted to play a part still. when i was doing the warm-up i could feel my chest tightening, and […]
today i did something a little different from usual, instead of heading into cubicle-land on the early bus, i took a later bus/train journey to an event called “big think”. this event was touted as a half day event for people who “think differently”, with 3 guest speakers and an opportunity to network. it was […]
nice early start today, awake a couple of minutes before 2am in fact, and down the gym about 2:30am which was a bit wasted given that i’m not headed to the office today, but have a workshop / networking event to go to that doesn’t start until after 9am lol. but with no rush, it […]
