So yes, i know I just posted pratcically less than five minutes ago, but I finished my first workout and had to say something about. Not just to brag that I ran a 5K, but to keep my mind off the chips that are sitting on the counter right now trying to seduce me with their salty goodness.
Back to the workout....So FINALLY, my apratment complex got rid of the crusty old, electronically impaired treadmill we used to have and upgraded to a brand new machine that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Its a miracle!!!!! Not only did it start when i stepped on, but it has its own incline function and you can actual rad and program the screen to your specifications!! Imagine that....
Beyond my amazement at the workings of this machine, I decided, "Hey, why not run the 5K and see how you do?" Well.....about an hour after, I can definitely feel how I am doing. Aches are starting to appear and despite the cool down, a little stiff now, but totally worth it. Just the kind of pain i want to motivate my butt to get in shape. After all, what kind of cowboy wants a horse on top of their horse? hahahahahahahaha (inside joke that many of you probably wont get, but it makes me laugh :-))
I kept the jog up at a consistent rate of 3.7m/h. Dont know if thats good or not, but hey, its a starting point for me. Ran for over a half and hour and cooled down for five minutes. The weird thing is, I used to joke that I sweat like a man cause after every workout, no matter how strenuous, I would be drenched in sweat. Today, I glistened, but was not dripping. Maybe a little too descriptive or gross, but hey.....SUCK IT UP :-) This is my blog!!!
Anywho, to throw in a little arm action as that is the second area i want to work on, I put in 25 reps of bench presses at 60lbs. Should feel that by tomorrow as well.....Good thing is, despite the fact that I was too lazy to fill up a bottle of water to take with me and grabbed by Liption Citru Tea instead, it has no calories, as its diet, so i didnt gain back any of the 252 calories I lost from running!!!!!
And so, because I now and a little tired and probably should take a muscle relaxer bee my muscles seize up completely, off to the bath I go for a good salad, a good book, and MW3 to ease the stress. A good killing always takes the pain away :-) :-) ;-)
Until tomorrow.....stay healthy or keep trying
