Notes
Was a mixed bag at the gym this morning; one one hand I was very happy with the time achieved for the 5km row, and the fact that my legs seemed to be cooperating. On the other hand, I didn’t finish the entire session.
After the row, leg press and chest press I should have done push-ups, squats and abs stuff. Three things combined and conspired against me:
- I was completely and totally stuffed
- It was getting a bit “late” (relative term I know)
- The gym was filling up, the floor space where I do the pushups etc. was crowded and I couldn’t be bothered waiting around
The main parts of the session were done though, so not too bad overall. I also weighed in at 118.4kg before starting the session, so that means the total weight loss has now gone past the 24kg mark!
I really do like hitting the gym closer to 3am than 4am – there is a bit of a “rush hour” that kicks in around 5. It’s not usually a huge problem, but this morning I had to wait for a machine, and then the stretching / floor work area at the back simply got crowded.
I wsn’t in the mood for it and I’d also run out of puff, so that made the decision easier 🙂
Oh and the 5km row – I skimmed 41 seconds off the time, and broke through the 19 minute barrier. This was achieved by focusing on holding around a 1:55 per 500m pace.
