I've worked out that my regular jogging route covers just a hair over 3km according to Google Maps. I do two laps in the mornings and today it took me 43 minutes.
Not too bad considering that I've only just started after 10 months of no jogging. :)
This afternoon: push ups. :o
Yesterday I was up at 5am to go jogging in the dark and the rain. Dedication, or insanity?
Still need to work on my push ups. My chest has always been weak and my techique needs improvement. I got used to doing push ups "the hard way", spread eagle. With arms out wide and feet out wide too. I can bang out 20 but get puffed really easily.
I "know" the proper way to do a push up, I just need to develop those muscles in order to do it properly... by doing push ups!
Sit ups on the other hand... ow!
First day today. (Actually, yesterday would be the first day but I'm calling it day 0). Off to a good start. Did three laps around town, which is just over 9km in total. Will do pushups and situps tonight.
Tomorrow will be the hard one. I'll be sore from today and I'll have to go out first thing in the morning before work. As in right after I get up. As in before dawn.
Yup, hard one...
A quiet night at home last night. Wasn't falling asleep on the couch this time though, not like the night before when I was on the couch watching the telly with the family and *thunk* head against the wall.
That was pretty amusing, no pain in the morning. Have a list of things to get on with, so need to prioritize and work out what is most important. Then get on with that.
It's a long weekend. Which would normally be a good thing. I have a salaried job so I don't have to go to work but I still get paid.
Sadly, my wife is working night shifts, which means she's asleep during the day and so I can't do anything or go anywhere with her.
Which sucks. :(
Well, I for one am happy. This year I asked a lady to be my Valentine and she said yes. I got her a nice gift she liked, she got me a nice gift I liked.
Granted, it's a bit of a cheat since she is already my wife. But I can honestly say that I married my first ever Valentine. How many people can say that.
Admittedly, things are a little tough at the moment. With her working nights it means the kids and I have to keep quiet during the day so she can sleep. But I am confident we'll get past it. Things will be better if I can get some mine work. She won't have to work as much and we'll be able to get the house paid off faster.
Fingers crossed...
Wow, time sure does fly. It's already February. Doesn't seem like that long ago since all I could think about was looking forward to the wedding!
Have been settling nicely into my new life with my wife and her kids. There have been a few problems of course - this is to be expected when two people with such different personalities start living together.
But it has been good and it is getting better. Life is good.
