Threatening rain outside, treadmill run inside. (It didn’t rain, though.) 4 miles in 54 minutes with a few walking breaks for my tired feet. Overall I don’t feel too bad, though my neck is sore (probably from pressing that damn … Continue reading →

HIIT dissatisfaction

Posted on May 28, 2015 by G

I managed another good, if slightly abbreviated, night of sleep last night and reluctantly rolled out of bed at 5am to get to HIIT on time. This time the intervals were done on Bosu balls, which nearly caused me to … Continue reading →

Posted on May 27, 2015 by G

No workout today: taking a proper rest day for all my parts. But I just wanted to mention that I slept by myself in the spare room and slept LIKE A BOSS. My partner hates it but I can’t deny … Continue reading →

Posted on May 22, 2015 by G

I figured I’d be sore after HIIT, but for some reason I’m surprised at the degree of soreness I feel today. It’s all in my glutes, hips, quads and hamstrings. It’s not quite “toilet sore” (you know, when things hurt … Continue reading →

Posted on May 21, 2015 by G

I got my butt out of bed, onto the train, and into the gym early this morning for another HIIT class. Now I’m singing another little song to myself: HIIT is kick my butt, HIIT is kick my butt… (It … Continue reading →

“Good Fatty Blog” and privileged voices

Posted on May 20, 2015 by G

Longer treadmill run today: 4 miles in 53 minutes, nice and solid, no need for a walking break. Today actually would’ve been a nice day to run outside, but I neglected to plan ahead so I was stuck inside. Tomorrow … Continue reading →

I can’t relax, so don’t tell me to relax

Posted on May 19, 2015 by G

Another typical Tuesday combo, lift ‘n’ run. The run part went great (I fit 1.75mi into the 20 minutes, kept turning the treadmill up) but the lifting part was tough. I’m blaming it on my period and the fact that … Continue reading →

Today’s a yoga day. Can you believe I am still sore from last Thursday’s HIIT? Especially my upper body, my neck and shoulders and chest and sides. I decided to do a different practice by the same person who does … Continue reading →
