39 days to the Brighton Half Marathon!!!!

katherine and i were at the gym this morning:-

  • 10mins treadmill 0.89km
  • calf press 70lbs - 2 sets of 18
  • seated leg curl 45lbs - 2 sets of 10
  • leg extension 45lbs - 2 sets of 10
  • leg press 55lbs - 2 sets of 15
  • diverginbg seated row 40lbs - 2 sets of 6
then we had a go on the rowing machines - they're actually quite tricky to figure out. i'm still not convinced i'm doing it right. but according to my machine, in 3.5minutes i managed to row 498metres. so hoorah for me.

we finished on those active view bikes - i didnt jot down where we cycled this time but one of the three rides was definately new england in the fall - oooh the colours of the trees - beautiful, and one was in northern california, off road and snowy and we ended up at a lovely lake.

fyi - katherine and i do seem to spend a lot of the time during the different rides pointing out to each other lovely spots to stop and picnic at. if we ever go to these places for real we'll need huge panniers on our bikes so we can accomodate all of our picnics.

then oiff to work
and now i'm at home & really rather tired.

i'm kinda hoping that as i get back into working out pretty much every day in some capacity - either going for a run or weights in the gym or a session of gentle stretching, that my body will stop being so moany and whiney and achey. i can but hope...
