Out did myself today - and I didn't even fancy doing much...
Started with an excellent full weights session including the multi-hip machine and the arm things I hate. Did it circuit style with no stopping, actually worked up a sweat doing weights... normally I'm so gross from the running machine that I never notice. Really worked hard and was surprised by how quickly I could work my way round all the machines alternating arms and legs.
Then went for a swim.
Did 2 breaststroke/4 crawl for 40 lengths with a 1min stop at 24 lengths to talk to TheO.
Really chuffed 40 lengths in 31 minutes - much more like it. It finally felt like a proper workout, I was getting some water at the end and I could feel my legs shaking. And, just to chuff my day to the max* TheO is cooking dinner tonight (Roast Chicken, Crusty Bread and a Big Salad) for me, and a friend is coming round. What perfection. (Then, when they go - there's the England Match to watch.) It's all far too exciting.
Needless to say I will be keeping this double session as the joker to play when I really can't be arsed one day in this fabulous Juneathon**.
* Note to self - never use this expression again.
**NOT SURE BLOGGING WHILST STILL PUMPED FROM EXERCISE SHOULD BE ALLOWED, THIS POST IS FAR TOO PERKY AND FULL OF ITSELF.
