Was not expecting to wake up to this view on Monday morning. I couldn't go running as the paths obviously not gritted. I was tempted but was told not too in case I fell and have to take longer time off for running. I brought my gym stuff to work with the intention of using the dreaded treadmill at the gym. However, when I went to find my headphones as people were too loud on the train for me to study, I realised that I had brought my laptop mouse instead of my headphone case! So I didn't go as I need music and also Jo Whiley talking me through couch to 5K.
TUESDAY
Brought my gym stuff to work again along with my Yoga mat so my left knee and lower back was aching a little. Decided to go on the treadmill before Body Balance however due to the train strike, I only had 19 mins instead of the time needed so I did:
5 mins warm up
3 mins run
90 secs walk
5 mins run
2 mins walk
1 min run
1.5 mins cool down
Then went to Body Balance where my body ached but my pilates socks stayed on. Favourite part is the recovery stretch: Modified Pigeon. The more than advanced move onto King Pigeon and Mermaid. However I cannot bend my back leg without getting cramp in my hamstrings and I do not have the flexibility to grab hold of my foot behind my head. So I do the
Likewise it takes me ages to do the Dancer pose. It takes me so long to grab the inside of my foot whilst my leg has kick back into a bend that the move is nearly finished. I also have trouble with the standing quad/hip flexor stretch for the same reason.
WEDNESDAY
Snuck in a an extra Body Pump at 7.00pm, with the lovely Vicki, and my sister Tanya of course. Kept to my usual weights but couldn't manage with the lunges with 4 pulses (no weights) and the press up and side plank rotation.
May try and keep that up so Body Pump, Wednesdays and Saturdays (or Sundays); Body Balance, Tuesdays and Saturdays and Running, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (until I have to do great distances on Sundays).
THURSDAY
