Shortened Cardio Workout Today

It was a good idea for me to get on the blog this morning and read the comments that had been left, as well as check out a couple of sites off the blogroll. When I first got on the blog, I was procrastinating. However once I saw the comments left on the blog, and the troubles that others were having on other sites on the blogroll, I decided that a blister was pretty minor really and I should get out and get into it.

So, the decision having been made, I cycled down to the gym and went through the 31 minute cardio routine, slightly faster than usual as I felt okay once I got on the machine. It is a beautiful day out there today, possibly a little chilly, but not a cloud in the sky. It was a nice ride to the gym, and it was strangely packed for a Monday, mid morning. I think that getting some warm Aussie sun on the legs has been good for them this morning!

I got straight on the treadmill and went for it. My workout results are posted on the spreadsheet that you can download from the links on this page. It was pretty good, and while the blister did play up towards the end, it held out enough to let me get a decent sweat up, and more importantly keep in the routine that I need to be in. I felt much better for it, and even managed to cycle faster than usual on the way home, and cycled all the way.

All in all it was a great start to the day. Unfortunately about 5 minutes ago my trainer called sounding as sick as a dog. She clearly has a cold of some sort and it sounded like it would be a good idea for me to stay as far away from her as possible. Needless to say, the session for this afternoon has been cancelled and I will see her next on Thursday morning at 9:00. I actually think that this is a good result all up as I can now rest my foot for the rest of the afternoon, and with any luck it should be ready to rock and roll again tomorrow.

My plan at this stage will be to try and get into the gym twice tomorrow, depending on how the foot feels. I think that the trainer would like to get me back into the gym for a second time this week, but I may have to see how this is going to fit in with what I am up to at the weekend as I think this is the only time she will have to see me. Diet has gone okay so far, just about to finish off and head to the fridge for my mid morning yoghurt. Peach and mango, yum! Better get to it or I'll never get through all the meals I have to eat today! Until tomorrow, keep fighting the fat!
