Tuesday’s Workout (Basketball & Run)
Yesterday was just a decent cardio day, nothing spectacular but I’m happy to at least say that I did something. My brother and I warmed up with some one-on-one hoops action and once we got our hearts beating we went down to the track and jogged a warm-up lap. After that we decided to go ahead and run a 1600m, not all out, but what we thought was 60-70% pace… enough to sweat and tire ourselves a bit.
I’m happy knowing that I’m really striving toward consistency and making running a regular thing, but I’m really frustrated right now too, because I know I’m so far behind what I use to be…. I know I can get back there though. Anyway, I timed my run and was extremely disappointed. Despite all that, I turned it up a notch the last 200m, but still was in awe of how slow I am now. On a positive note, it now is a time to beat… and then beat the next time, and then beat that time, until I get to as close as where I used to be (if not surpassing it).
I’m very competitive and always have been, so despite the main purpose of cardio (which is getting healthy, losing extra weight), it also is something that I want to improve at time-wise, for myself.
Instead of saying, "I’d like to get out tonight", I need to start saying, "I have to get out tonight". So, tonight I’m going to run too (and get a lift in).
