Hi all - I am enjoying the rest, but went out for a 10k race event with my gan today! It was the first event for Richard, so despite all my improved fitness, I decided to stay with him so as to get him over the line in a sub hour time. I found it SO very easy that despite me just getting off nights, it was almost a walk in the park for me. I barely broke a sweat. Honestly my legs had so much power and I could feel myself just having to hold back on the hills. It was a lesson in patience! Other members of the gang did well and we all got a fancy medal afterwards (plus a sausage sandwich). I hit bed at 12 noon, and woke this evening at 7pm (off to work for my last night shift - after the England game).
I am booked for a personal training session with an old couple at 1pm and then I intend to do a run with one of my younger pupils tomorrow. I will look to do my LAST Insanity session after than. I am already missing the routine in my life - I feel like I'm cheeting you lot, like I'm a bit of a fraud. I have to resist the temptation of doing too much what with the 3 Peaks event at the weekend.
Everyone - keep up the fine work.
CWTH - so glad you are back in the game. Remember to go at your own pace and build up each day as you find strength.
Cheetah - looks like you have identified the area you need to "restrain" yourself from over-exertion. Slowly slowly catchy monkey! Be prepared to "lose a little" performance in the run as you "develop" in Insanity - it's a delicate ballance.
Tangol - mate I feel your strain. There were days for me (as already stated) where the mojo just wasn't there. Don't punnish yourself because it's a message to the brain from the body to take it easy. I am sure as eggs are eggs, that in a day or so, you'll spring back. It's the stage by stage improvement the body needs to cope with.
