Week 9 Day 1

Today's Exercise

• walk 2 busstops to work
  
• 1.5 min run, 0.5 min jog, 4 min walk, 1 min jog / 3 min walk rest of way
• 2 x morning exercises
• 2 x 20 crunches

Oops ... it wasn't until after I came home that I realized I'm supposed to rest this week ... but anyways, it's kind of amazing ... it's like the writers of the exercise program could guage my progress ahead of time ... they manage to step up the pace at just the right time, for just the right amount, and change in an encouraging way just when I'm feeling least optimistic about my progress. If that isn't magic, then I don't know what is! ... or maybe it's just really good knowledge of general human capabilities ... which makes me think: maybe I'm not REALLY AWFUL compared to everyone else, I'm just comparing myself to the wrong people ... ^_^

But back to training guide's amazingness ... it feels like 2 min jog is too much, but 1 min jog is too easy ... and the training guide prescribed 1.5 min jog, just perfect ... now how did they know how I'd feel? It's almost eerie! :)

Oh yeah ... gotta schedule the IST ... how about Thursday (with Friday as alternate day)? Maybe I can get some time off, I've been working overtime all the time for the past 6 weeks ...
