Workout (Weights & Stretch)
BodyPump: 7:30am-8:30am
Yoga: 12:10pm-1:00pm
Umm...Oww?
I've been wanting to increase my weights in Body Pump and while I knew I wasn't ready to increase all of them, I did for lower body as well as the chest track. Prior to today, I was doing 30.8lbs during squats and lunges, today, I threw on an extra Kg which brought my weight up to 33lbs. During the chest track, I added 2Kgs to my bar, which brought my weight up to 20lbs, and it HURT. I struggled with the track, had a bit of a hard time keeping up, but where I needed to I rested and it seemed to help. They're always saying in Body Pump to not be scared to challenge yourself which is the reason I increased, but I didn't anticipate that it would be so hard.
Yoga is going to feel REALLY good when I go at lunch time.
And yeah..I'm an idiot. Got the dates confused on that duathlon that I was thinking about doing in October. The day was correct, as was the month, but got the year wrong. Yup - 2005, not 2006. Idiot! :) It's back to the drawing board - I could do the same duathlon that I did last year (The women's Weight Watchers event) but it's on my birthday, and I think this year I'd rather be celebrating then going to bed early - plus, Tay has hesitantly been entertaining duathlon talks with me, so that prevents him from trying. I'm going to check the HSBC site again but I'm worried that there wouldn't be enough training time for an event in August.
Hrmm..I just found a duathlon in Alliston mid-September but then Tay pointed out that it's the last weekend of TIFF - we're cutting back on TIFF a bit this year (ie. not taking the week off work) but we're still going to try and go evenings and weekends. Hrmm. Maybe no duathlon this year - maybe I'll just continue with my running and train for the Mississauga Marathon next May??
