It was tough today!

WOW! Kickboxing almost killed me today!
And it certainly wasn't due to being unfit.
It was due to when being told to jog, i jogged, and told to sprint, i sprinted (or at least I felt like i was sprinting!).

Other times, my "sprint" was a slightly faster jog, if at all. And certainly not by the end of the session...it was a slow jog!
But today, i sprinted right up to the end.

And boy it was tough. I thought I was going to vomit. I recovered quickly though as i had to hold the bag for my partner...still jog/sprint, but i had the "break" of not having to punch or kick or do knees or shoulders or whatever else i had to do prior...it became a blur!

I felt soooo good afterwards though.

Then...my hardwork...RUINED!

We went into Freo, walked around, and stopped in for a coffee. And lunch. I chose fettuccine with artichoke, sundried tomatoes and chicken in a tomato based sauce. Well, the tomato based sauce also came with cream. I actually couldn't eat it all as it was too rich. but i ate a lot of it.

So, because i chose to eat it, i chose the dish, i chose to eat as much as i did (i ate well over satisfaction as I hate wasting food...and doggy bags don't exist anymore!), i decided i needed to work it off.

So C25K tonight.
Week 7 session 3. The final 25 minute run. And I chose to do it up and down hills. I really am a tool sometimes! But I did it! I also decided on my way back to the car, once i got over the final hill, that i would do week 1 intervals, but at a running pace, not jog. I did 5 intervals before I hit the car.
And I wasn't collapsing!

I did it! I am physically exhausted now. My legs know they exist! But gee it was good to finish that first 25minutes, have a walk for 7 minutes then be able to go again. It was such an achievement. In my 25minute run, i probably only ran just over 3km, was supposed to be 4.1 i think. but i did have hills.
I am a little worried i wont be able to make the 5km on Sunday. I just don't know if i can make the distance. But i am a determined B. I. #. % H so I am sure I will push myself.

For now, I will be in bed and asleep early, because I am off to the lake tomorrow. planning to do week 8 session 1...but thinking i might just do a lot of walking laps!

oh and i weighed myself at my friends house today...not an official weigh in, but i was an 80s girl! 89.9. so i am HOPING it stays for monday's weigh in. But if i am still a 90s girl that is ok...i was an 80s girl for a few days!!!
