Walking and gymming
Sunday: walked from Highgate Road/Dukes Field to Golders Hill Park/Golders Green going up and across the Heath. According to maps.google.co.uk I only did 3 miles. It felt like much longer, but then I wasn't able to track my route exactly because a lot of the paths I took in the north-western end of the Heath were small ones that were covered with trees. Again I have the Garmin watch-want. Ho hum.
Today: Ran to the gym for the third time (1.1 miles away). I sprinted for the last few yards. I love sprinting :-) I *think* it's getting easier. It's certainly getting easier to run in public on my own. I plan to run home from Kentish Town South again on Wednesday night. Part of me wants to run the scenic route which is .2 miles longer than the direct route; however, after 1.5 miles I was bloody knackered. I think what I'll do is run 1.5 miles this Wednesday and 1.7 miles next Wednesday.
Leg exercises:
Squats: 20kg on the Smith machine * 12, 10, 8 reps
Walking lunges: 4kg dumbbells (each hand), 4 * 12 steps
90 degree calf raises (I was almost sitting on my heels but not quite, holding onto a pillar) 15, 12, 10 reps
Single leg split squat: 4kg dumbbells (each hand) * 10, 8, 8
Single leg calf raises (standing on one leg on a step, lightly gripping the stair rail) 15, 12, 10
Shoulder exercises:
Front deltoid raises: 2kg dumbbells (each hand) 12, 10, 8
Dumbbell shoulder press: 4kg dumbbells (each hand) 12, 10, 8. Probably could have made it to 6kgs, but couldn't spot any.
Some other shoulder exercise I can't remember.
Triceps exercises:
Overhead single triceps extensions: 2kg * 12, 10, 8
Single triceps push back on the cable machine: 2.5kg * 12, 10, 8. Had a huge wibble when I was trying to do this, my anxiety level was 9/10 for my session up to the point I got on the reclining bike.
Cardio: 30 minutes on the reclining bike, going at it rather hard. No intervals this time, but I kept either increasing/decreasing the pace or increasing/decreasing the resistance depending on the song that was playing on my mp3 player :-)
For a change I did my full range of stretches, yay! Mmm, stretching.
I'd better have lost weight this week! If I haven't, I'm going to start measuring my waist once a month and using that as a barometer.
