Because I felt like one on the treadmill today.
WOD - 10 sets of squats, burpees and situps for time = 1:43 followed by a 5K at 5% incline for time = 35:02. I need to explain this 5K because it's quite funny:
1st of all I had anxiety because I knew it was going to be hard. Let's go Bendz! So I put the treadmill at a 5% incline and I plugged in at 6 mph. For 10 seconds until I realized that there is no way in hell that I can run this fast on such a hill.
(Kitty get off my damn lap top and go find some place to sit! I'll give you lovin in a bit)
Sorry, where was I. Oh yes, I then plugged the treadmill at 5.5 which is a few seconds slower then a 11 minute mile. At first I thought "how pathetic" but it was really hard.
Mile .60 - Oh my word! This is going to be awful. Increase volume on ipod to drown out my heavy breathing
Mile .90 - Joe Chasse comes by to harass me and tells me to pick it up. I was ready to drop kick his ass right there in front of all the members. Love you Joe!
Mile 1.23 - Michele Beaule comes by workout. "Sorry Michele I can't breathe therefore I cannot talk but I will listen". After a few head nods and "Yup's" she left to warm up so I cranked up my music again. Nickelback baby!
Mile 1.77 - Shit, I have to stop for a bit. I hoped off the treadmill and was panting like a dog. Heart rate was around 160 or more but those damn machines don't give you accurate information. .1 mile goes by - get your ass back on the treadmill. Now I know that I have to tack that .1 mile on at the end. Damn!
Mile 2.0 - One more! One more! You can do it! But at the same time I'm thinking This sucks!
Mile 2.8 - Oh I have to bring the speed down. I'm going to throw up. 4.5 mph for .2 miles to give myself some time to relax if that is possible.
Mile 3.0 - Here you go! 6.0 mph until I hit 3.2 miles. I have to make up some time. My final thought before finishing is "I'd rather go through labor again instead of running this damn hill!"
Mile 3.2 - Oh thank you god! I'm alive and I did it. Hold on tight to the treadmill Bendz because I feel like shit.
All that for a silly 5K. Granted it's on a 5% incline which makes all the difference in the world.
Food - My yummy shake this morning, apple after gym and some turkey salami and 2% american cheese on sprout bread with a yogurt for lunch. I'm now drinking a cup of decaf tea looking at the mess that is in my house. Yippy! I get to go clean now.
(I love you kitty but move your ass off my laptop)
I have to also get everything ready because we're taking the kids skiing tonight. See ya!
