What a beautiful day today, I can't believe this is winter.
Well, while I am still waiting for my freakin' speed skates, but I must continue training in the way I know how. I actually went to see if a one size smaller pair of speed skates would fit me and they are not bad so I may just end up buying those.
In the meantime, my training sled is working just fine. A couple of days ago, I slapped on 50lbs of weights and went for 4 100m consistent sprints and 4 30m all out bursts and yes, my tongue was licking some pebbles off the asphalt.
Today, my training partner Melia and I went out for a one mile warm up run (her first ever attempt at that and we only walked twice for one minute each but she did it) and then, her favorite part, she plopped herself on my sled and away we went for 4 100m sprints. I padded up the shoulders of my harness and the leg straps so now it feels nice and snug. The neighbours look at me kind of funny but they are used to me doing stuff like this by now.
Then, cause it's such a beautiful day, I hit the bag for 3 rounds outside like I do in the summer time. Boxing, believe it or not, is such a toning exercise. Helps on speed, co-ordination, and uses all muscle groups.
Exercise in general just revives the body and senses. I always tell people, 'you may be loved by many, but no one can take care of yourself but you'!!
I usually take Sundays off but with alot on my mind lately, training just gives my coco a break........now I have to try and put an office work desk together.....this could be interesting.
Peace.
