Great little cardio session tonight! Although perhaps slightly naughty…..

Having watched the rugby, and been relieved I didn’t watch the Williams sisters lower their game as usual for a final, I decided it was time to head to the gym for a session, as I knew the place would be deserted early Saturday evening.

Opted for a decent cardio session, without any real masterplan. 2.5k on the rower at level 6, keeping just above 2:10 per 500m. Couple of sets of free weights and pec fly then went on to bike, 25 mins at level 13 with rpm over 90 – by now sweating buckets… Was going to have a crack at a x-trainer, but the dreadmill was calling…. Actually a flock of about 12 were calling… The organism bluffed that it would be a good idea, knowing I couldn’t run. It was gutted when I called its bluff, and got on a corner dreadmill “We are NOT allowed to run” it was screaming!! “Who said anything about running?”

Dreadmills DO have their uses after all!! 35 minutes, at 3.7mph fast walking, with incline at 8%, then 9%, and finally 10% The machine informed me I climbed 900 feet in total… reminded me of The Athens Classic Marathon…

Must admit that I felt really good at the end, as of I had done a good work out. Just time left for a quick SBS, then off home for a catch up.

#4 has dropped by on her travels, which is worth a very big smile tonight! She is only here a few hours… but what the heck?

She has a busy summer ahead, she and her mates are doing a performance of the Tempest at Stratford on Avon for the RSC, then she is off to the Edinburgh Fringe where she is involved in three different shows for a while.

Hope everyone has a great time at the City of Manchester 10k, really sorry I can't run it this year.

So as I said, big smile tonight!!
