… for several reasons.
One, I wanted to try out my new techno hat [with built-in headphones] as well as my new SX UNIVERSAL COMBO HEART RATE MONITOR WATCH.
Yeah. I’m not sure exactly how to ‘monitor’ my heart yet – but I’m guessing I’ll figure it out. This being an ATHLETE is hard. No wonder the professionals need coaches, handlers and personal assistants.
The weather was sunny today, with not much wind, but it was just above freezing. Since I’m still getting over this CHEST COLD, I decided it would be best if I just walked it today.
1.72 MILE WALK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD seemed to do the trick. Although I had to backtrack because I had low-blood sugar and needed to eat a protein bar.*
I probably could’ve walked further – I know it was in me to do it – I just need to remember that I don’t have to accomplish it all in ONE DAY.
Overachievement. I haz it.
My plan is to begin HALF MARATHON TRAINING this coming Friday, December 30th. I realize this program is 12 weeks long and has me doing a work out 5 days per week and as a 50 year-old, I need more rest days in between – so I know I’ll be modifying. It was offered for free and I decided to take advantage of the program. Simple as that – a way to motivate, share and stay on track.
Look. If nothing else, I’ve made the commitment to be public about this – it wouldn’t be fair to me or anyone else to make it seem like this all happened magically. It won’t. I’m aware of that – but I’m also willing to say up front that I’m making an initial commitment. Not a vague New Year’s Resolution…
Speaking of resolutions, where are YOU – any at all?
How about a little share-fest??
*I’m not only DIABETIC [no medication – managed with diet/exercise], I’m HYPOGLYCEMIC. I supplement with protein when I’m able and that works fine for me. I don’t always recognize the symptoms in myself – but I always try to carry a protein bar with me. Once I ate the protein bar, I was good to go this morning!
