Last Week: w/c 30th November
December 7, 2009I had a couple of days of casual work this week, which has reminded me just how organised I’ll need to be to get to the gym after work when I start working full time…
Tuesday: My new gym has TVs attached to the cardio equipment, which is new for me. My initial excitement wore off on the first day when I realised they only had terrestrial channels… and day-time TV is crap. Back to the ipod I went. Today I tried something different by taking my book with me and finishing off the last 70-odd pages while on the recumbent bike (this was perfectly normal at the uni gym but apparently not so much at this one!) Either way, it did the trick and I managed to keep up a reasonable pace. One hour and 15km later I decided to loosen up my quads by doing a couple of kms on the treadmill before stretching and heading home.
Wednesday: We missed the first half an hour of basketball as the gates to the venue were locked. We decided to just play 3 on 3 in the remaining 90 minutes. Was good fun and certainly a good workout!
Friday: Spent a good 3 hours at archery, though that didn’t seem to do much to improve my aim. Lots of reds (and not enough golds) but it’s all good practice.
Saturday: A better day at archery but not great. Scored 550 on a Portsmouth round. Congrats to Dave, who broke his PB with a 551.
Sunday: We had our SCA team photo today, followed by onlly an hour of training due to a booking mix-up. Still, we got in some layups and drills so can’t complain.
Total Run: 2km
Thanks to everyone who gave me their input with regards to Friday’s post about whether or not to run the asics British 10k next year. I had a number of replies on Facebook as well as the ones on the blog. As of today the score is 6-2 for doing it, though I’ll give it a bit more thought before sending off the application form.
What’s a Portsmouth round of archery? 60 arrows?
You should only really be bothered about whether you can hit a zombie in the head anyway :)
Yep, 60 arrows at a 60cm target from 20 yards. I hit within the 9 pretty much every time and that’s only 12cm across…much smaller than a zombie head :-)
totally un-post-related… you made it SNOW! how how how? =D
And also, you’ll be pleased to note that I am watching bones.. and can’t quite believe how like bones you are! It makes me chuckle when watching !! and makes me miss ur quirky ways :)
Ha! Yes, I was feeling christmassy :-) Go to ‘appearance’ in your dashboard, it’s in there.
Lol, you’re not the first person to say that :-)
