Virtuous Endeavours of a Core Strengthening Kind

9/6/2014

Just an easy 40 minutes today, indoors as I didn't trust the weather. I also completed some strength/conditioning exercises (I'll refrain from boring you with the details as much as I bored myself doing them) and even subjected myself to 20 minutes on the rowing machine because I know it's good for core work. Not so good for the head though. YAAAWN!

It's been great that I can use the new Garmin on the treadmill as it saves me having to try and remember distances and speeds and means I can compare indoor and outdoor workouts. It's no surprise I guess that there's a discrepancy between the data recorded by the watch and the treadmill readout though... The treadmill thought I ran further, faster, which would be great but I'm trusting the Garmin; it's measuring so much more and using a lot more data to make those judgements. I've also been told that some of the kit in the gym is over twenty years old so I'm not sure it's terribly reliable!

Today's dessert has been mostly brought to you (Oh, no, sorry, mostly brought to ME given that you were not here and I ATE IT ALL MYSELF!) by a variation on a theme of Notcheese Cake. In this instance, the specimen concerned was of the genus Blueberry and Rhubarb, otherwise known as Bluebarb. Nom.

The final challenge of the day; Operation Early Night. I need to start trying to get more than 5 hours sleep, though the earlier I go to bed, the earlier I wake up so that doesn't always work. Still, shutting down the digital devices and getting in bed with a book can't hurt, even if I don't go to sleep straight away! Night night!
