Tuesday's jog was pretty good. Managed three laps around town (9km) without stopping! Woohoo!
Still need to improve my upper body strength, especially on push ups. Sit ups I am sort of okay and can do 45 (almost) non stop, but I'm not sure I'm doing them right.
On a low brow note, I don't think my diet is agreeing with me. When I pass wind, it really stinks...
How appropriate. It's been steadily raining all afternoon and all night. This is the first time I have had something hit me so hard it kept me awake at night. It's past midnight and I have to get up at 4:30am to go to work. At least I have my lunch ready, that will save some time.
The recluse have difficulty offloading concerns. The outgoing types have a large circle of friends and a wide support network that they can share with, vent to, or just get distracted with. It would be nice to be able to talk to someone. The only option I have is to keep it bottled up and, as a wonderful person once told me, "harden the fuck up".
No point getting depressed about it. That will neither improve the situation nor make me feel better. Here's hoping I get enough rest tonight that I can function in the morning.
I had my suspicions, I had my fears. It still hurts. But it really is my fault. I should have done more. May I be strong enough...
Saturday night's run went well. Started at the gate and didn't stop at all for two laps. Mind you, I was going for a steady pace for stamina rather than pushing for speed. Tonight I'll increase my pace again and slow down when needed. Need to get my speed up.
This morning I did manage to get in some push ups and sit ups but don't have a lot of time in the mornings before work...
Oh boy. Moving around 55 gallon drums is hard work. It's all in the technique. Considering that a full drum is around the 180kg mark, but I only weigh 73kg or so... about twice my weight.
Lucky the trucks have lifts on them.
I'll either get a lot stronger, or break something. Hopefully not my leg or something...
Start at the new job today. The good news is that it is closer so I will spend less time driving and use less fuel.
The bad news is that we start earlier so I have less time in the morning. Bummer. Still managed to get one lap in this morning.
And I did it without stopping. Awesome!
Last night, I had tuna for the first time in my life. It isn't something that was cooked very often in my old house (never actually, that I can recall).
Aparantly, when I was younger I was at a friends place and when his mum made him a tuna sandwhich I asked "why is she giving you cat food?"
Needless to say, I got into a bit of trouble over that one. I didn't eat fish and the only experience I had with it was feeding our cats.
At any rate, the smell still makes me gag, but I drowned it in mayonaise and olive oil, and that made it paletable. I probably need more fish in my diet anyway.
Talking of tastes, I'm having a raw egg in a cup of milk in the mornings after my jog for protein. The taste is okay, but the consistency is a bit... slimy. Can't do much about that but I've decided I'm going to add a squirt of maple syrup. To improve the taste, add a bit of sugars and use up the old maple syrup rather than chucking it out.
On tonight's menu... lamb's fry.
