Pumps through your veins,
Can you feel it, can you feel it?
I most certainly can thank you very much.
Back to work Thursday.....was ok, but it need to get my teeth into something, I will.
Back to training Friday, went to see Russ after work.
Blimey.
Normally he shows me some strength or/and stability exercises and I have a go at them and take them away, so to speak. This week we did a full on core work out. Still having a residual cough I was sorta hoping we could just have a chat :-D
Started with step ups onto a step in running pose, holding leg up to show stability. Actually harder than it sounds. Balance requires you to engage your core. Something I don't do enough of. You also need your arms to be right. A serious difficulty for me.
Then pull ups pulling legs out straight in front of you. Or pushing legs? Dunno it ain't easy.
Then step ups with a jump similar to before.
Then pull ups bringing knees to chest.
Then stepping onto the step like the first time but this time with a harness on attached to a massive elastic band attached to the wall......how hard! The first few times I just fell off backwards. You have to step up then immediately engage your core as hard as you can. Then maintain the step up for a few seconds. I was dripping sweat here and losing concentration meant a repeat cos you just got pulled off backwards :-D (nope, I won't)
Then mountain climbers on a medicine ball. Nuff said.
I walked out shaking, but, actually having really enjoyed a proper session after a few weeks of being a bit pathetic. Yesterday I knew I had done a core workout. Today getting off the sofa is a problem :)))
Fucking love DOMS me.
Did parkrun Saturday, bloody awful run there in pissing rain, wasn't feeling the love. Ran 22.40, my worst time in forever, but I guess I'm still cold wheezy and not match fit. Still First Lady, you takes what you can get. Ran home, had hair cut shopped.....flaked out. Did 10 hours sleep last night. That's like marathon sleeping!
Today when I finally dragged myself out of bed Mr drove me to the mcdonalds at Hainault. He went in, I ran up to Hogg Hill and did 12 hill repeats. Ran back and had a coffee to drink in the car on the way home. Reward! Oh yeah and I said about the car that had a tyre blowout next to me. Blimey that shocked me. I wondered if I'd been shot!
Anyway, back training, going to visit my friends for a nice long run soon. YAY!!!!!
