This week is the official start of training! It appears I am probably ready, although I am sure I’ll be hurting by stretch day next Sunday. I only have 7 miles of required walking this week, but I also need to do arm workouts, yoga, cross-training and the aforementioned stretches at the end of the first week.
I’m tired thinking about it already, and will probably be more tired by the time I actually post this. But. As much fun as sitting around knitting or reading or watching TV is, it’s not going to get me to my fitness goals. Drats.
One thing I have been using to advance toward those goals is our Switch. We managed to bag a Fortnite edition because we play Fortnite so much. (We don’t) I have Just Dance and Ring Fit Adventure. My dance moves are very flail-like, but are getting better. I’m pretty good at “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd. In Ring Fit Adventure, I made Dragaux fly off to the next challenge! Yes! Dragaux is a really muscle-y black fire breathing dragon who you have to do workout battles with.
It’s all very reality-based. Yes. But it is a decent workout. Except it told me I’d been working out for 11 minutes and I’m sure it was not telling the truth. I was much more tired than 11 minutes of workout!
I’m going to have to get out of bed early this week. My work schedule is asinine and does not leave a lot of time during normal daytime hours to do much. Hopefully I don’t get too crabby. I’m used to sleeping basically until I wake up these days, except last week we set alarms at 7am all week, and then I woke up Saturday and Sunday at 7am as well. Not that I got up - it’s the weekend! - but it’s good to know I can do it.
I hope you are staying safe, staying healthy, and wearing 2-5 masks every time you have to be around anyone outside of your bubble!
Cheers!
