sunday

Ok, I'm not sure whether I can be happy with this week or not, but I'm going with no for a number of reasons. I'm also going with a rather more chilled reaction to that decision than usual, also for a number of reasons. Here's today's:

10 mins cycling
Running: 5 km (28 mins) + 3 km (16 mins)
Squats: 20+25+25 kg
Lunges: w. 4 kg/hand
Ski jumps
Balance 'pad' thing: 3x 1 min
Bending

As you can see, no intervals (again!) and running divided in two parts. I will learn from my mistake - not going straight after class on a Friday) for next week so I can do a full programme. However, trust me when I say the above was enough. Especially because the weather here is ridiculously humid at the moment so everything was soaking wet even before I started. I did a good 1 hr 40 minutes as well - only legs - so I'll accept it, but not more. I need to get those intervals going.

On a brighter note the knee feels semi-good (please, let it not be jinxed for saying this!) and I'm trying to do more normal stuff; e.g. not avoiding stairs as much, not thinking about every step I take etc. Not easy, but necessary. My friend back home can now walk in heels a whole night without any soreness - great for her! - but I couldn't even think about heels before it'd get sore. Yay me...always something.

Anyway, for now I'll be reasonably happy and take on new levels next week: 9 km, potentially volleyball + 10-sec intervals! Hell yes!
