Today is day 2 of my 12 in 12 personal challenge.
Andrew has offered some good advice if I want to enjoy my runs: train only 3 – 4 days per week. Good advice, I agree. (Andrew should know, he’s the one running 30+ kms these days! 
)
Therefore my 12 in 12 will remain but I’m taking the pressure off myself for times and calories etc. It will be 12 exercise days (still a minimum of 5kms per day) but only 3 or 4 of the days will be “time trials”. The others, like today, will be casual walk and run as I feel, just to keep the heart rate “up” but not exhausting myself.
So, on to today’s stats:
- Location: Lake Monger, Perth (3.5km path) x 2
- Distance: 7km
- Pace: about 8.5mins/km
- HR Avg: not recorded (battery ran out on Garmin)
- HR Max: see previous point!
- Calories: see previous point!!
- Push Ups: 50 (1 x 20; 3 x 10)
Clearly I must remember to charge my Garmin overnight. How sad to discover when I get to my destination that it has run down! (as opposed to discovering before I leave the house!)
Anyway, the circuit was good and I dropped the iPod off at the car for the second lap to allow my self to hear the sounds of the world on the last 3.5km. It was a cool and windy day, no rain, alas but it was simply good to get out and not have nay pressure to get any where at any particular time.
Finished off with 50 push ups (1 x 20 and 3 x 10). I’ll do the sit ups later today, but I WILL do them!
