There has been quite a bit going on around here, but I still managed to get my second work out in for the couch to 5k run. It was easier than the other day in some ways, yet in other ways it was more difficult. I was running along and thinking to myself as I was panting like a dog that I may never get this race done, but I know I’m just at the beginning and I’m thinking too far ahead.
Marcel said that we should get a stainless steel drum and that I could use it to train with, but he thought that could be more of strength training with me picking it up and turning it end over end. I’m not sure about that, but at least I find that he’s starting to think about these things as well.
Time for a shower- Dinner in half an hour.
We had an emergency evacuation drill at work and I picked up some “incidental” fitness. Walked down 43 flights of stair then UP 48 flights…. Going down was doable but by the end of UP, I felt like I couldnt get in enough air. I know that with persistence the lung capacity and the bodies abilities to mine and distribute oxygen makes it easier. God for you on this journey. Marcel’s idea sound a bit out there.. I would stick with the program. Today I am not working ( some things to do) but will walk the 20kms into the local center…
