"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

MONDAY MORNING :) 25/01/2010


Wow.
 
I forgot how GREAT proper cardio makes me feel.
 
I have so much to say today LOL
 
Firstly - hip is 100% pain free.  I will keep an eye on it, but so far so good!  For those that don't know, they think I have "epicondylitis" which is like tennis elbow in my hip.  I need to improve my core strength as the first step in stopping it recurring.  Basically if I do no exercise it calms down.  But my brain goes crazy :).  So I need to fix it long term.  In the meantime I am going to try the C25K while I continue my core strengthening.
 
Secondly - I am not sure any of you would actually want my C25K MP3...  my taste in music is a bit daggy! (From "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkle to "Rollover DJ" by Jet to "Summer Loving" from Grease and a whole bunch of dagginess in between.  I am happy to put it somewhere to share if you like (will ask DH tonight for a good spot to put it) but not sure you will enjoy it!!
 
Thirdly - as proud as I am of myself, the instructions were actually really clear and easy to follow.  If I had chosen to do my own voice file it probably would have been even quicker!
 
Fourthly - I have found a nearby sports park which has 7 football ovals.  So I am going to try there for tomorrows walk/jog and see if it is suitable.  It will be much kinder to my knee and hip if it is suitable!  Fingers crossed!
 
Fifthly - I go quite slow!  Averaged about 6km/hr (3.7mph)...  my jog is about the same pace as my walk to be honest!  BUT I am going to get to a point of jogging the full distance/time and then worry about my speed.  I used to be able to do 4km at 9.6km/hr (about 6 mph).  My goal was always 4km in under 20 minutes (about 12km/hr) but I never got there!  A goal for 2011 maybe :)
 
I think that is it...
