The gym machines are all link to a system that monitors your workouts and total up the amount lifted…then every month they put the total up on the notice board….I went the gum 13 times last mouth (35th in the top 100) so go me ;-) but anyway……

Had a relaxing half hour in the steam room, sauna and bubble pool…then off home for dinner

 

Sore legs need a rest so a couple of gym session….then I might try the treadmill……

 

Later people ;-)

Well….I was planning to do a 10k in March and then a half marathon on June, well all was on  target, I was up to 4k in a February and getting quicker etc…then well my leg started to hurt, so since February I had pains in my left leg, I am currently waiting on a Physio appointment so hopefully soon I can get it bloody sorted and start running again, I can do anything else…swim, cycle, weights etc…just hurts to much to run…..Doing a lot of core work to help with it all…

Anyone back today efforts…

Well tonight I headed to the gym, not feeling great, but needed to get another run in to start building up for this 10K….so off I went and hit the treadmill……Got to 3K in 21 min so not to bad…with cool down hit about 3.3k but it was starting to hurt, legs are feeling it now, so to take my mind off my legs I had a shower and now sitting here typing this with the slendertone on ;-)

First up..run 30k in 4 weeks (Finish on the 26th), nothing major, but a reasonable challenge for me….manage to get to 7.4 so in 20 days I need to run 22K..might struggle…life busy at the moment…but we shall see…

Well the main Challenge that coming up is the 1ok end or March, so I have 6 weeks to get ready, so with that aim in mind, I started the training today, with a 25 min run(total of 30 min including cooldown) and well I have to admit I did rather well, I mamage just over 4K which I am really please with, my furthest run to date so not a bad start.

]]> http://www.thejudges.org.uk/blog/?feed=rss2&p=96 0 Janathon Day 29/31……now that a run ;-) http://www.thejudges.org.uk/blog/?p=94 http://www.thejudges.org.uk/blog/?p=94#comments Sat, 29 Jan 2011 20:52:47 +0000 GJUK http://www.thejudges.org.uk/blog/?p=94 See the activity on RunSaturday

Type: Run – General
Duration: 0:24:51
Distance: 3.29 km

I did it, I did it, I did it, I set myself the goal of running 3K before the end of January and today I flipping did it, I ran 3K in the gym, then did all my weights that have been upped and a few more machines added (working well as I am sore in my chest, so it must be working….;-) oh and I am still using the Slendertone, which I hope to do a post about during the week….

As for running suppose the question now is where to go from here, I think it need a week or two of 3k before moving to 4k…question is I want to do a 10K end of March so need to get up to distance sooner rather then later and the bit step of running outside, but hopefully end of Febuary It be a little bit warmer, so be able to do the odd short run outside and get use to it..all in time for March 20th which happens to be about 3 month before the half marathon in June…..

I did pop to the gym for a session with the instructor to change/improve/add to my program there so I am hoping that with some blood sweat and tears (hopefully no blood or tears if I being honest) I improve……well me, and if I don’t it all @jayMcNeill fault as I be stuck playing Gran Turismo 5…that my story and I am sticking to it…

Anyway onto tonight’s game of badminton, Because I enjoyed the match a lot I played as much as I can. I have (with help of my brother and others) been making an effort to improve my serve and my game as a whole, and though I still get beaten the result are getting better (most of the time ;-) )

So 2 hours Badminton tonight, Gym tomorrow……Swim Wednesday…
