Week Four – Day One: A win out of nowhere.

And just like that, another few days slipped by without me posting. Once again, I haven’t missed any exercise, if anything I’ve stepped it up some. The change in diet is starting to show on my waistline nicely, and I’m keeping up with my devotionals. Most importantly to my recovery, I haven’t missed any of

Week Three – Day Three: So I might have got distracted, and stuff.

I missed the last three days of posts. Which is funny, in a way, because I felt really bad about missing the first post. Then on Monday, I felt a little uneasy about missing a second post in a row. Yesterday, not a single care was given. It’s that easy to drop a good habit,

Week Two – Day Six: Upping the Ante in the Pool

I actually thought I’d be doing my exercises today in considerably heavy rain. But at about midday, the clouds parted, then promptly took off, and the sun came out. In spite of this, after an hour and a half, the water was still what might be called ‘crisp’, and it was hard on the lungs

Week Two – Day Five: C25K Sparta style, and more Batman.

Published on November 25th, 2011 by in Blog

Wasn’t raining so hard this morning, C25K a bit easier. Also experimented with the ‘Barefoot Running‘ style (although I kept my shoes on!), and found it to be possibly compatible with my back. Spent some time shopping with my lovely wife-to-be, and picked up a Christmas present for my housemate. Spent pretty much the rest

Week Two – Day Four: More Resting, More Batman (Finally!)

Published on November 24th, 2011 by in Blog

I’m writing this the day afterwards, for reasons that should become clear soon. Thursday, being my rest day, was spent… resting (Who’da thunk it?). But I had an enjoyable day, working on a home project that I plan to have finished in the next few days, and I’ll post the results up here. I had

Week Two – Day Three: Running Like a Drowned Rat

There’s something wonderfully warm and comforting about the feeling of being wrapped up in blankets in bed, listening to the rain pouring down against your bedroom window… Except when you know you have to get up and exercise in it. That’s roughly the first two thoughts that went through my head this morning. A morning

Week Two – Day Two: Rain, rain, go away!

A proper post on my pool based exercises was put off by the onset of rain, which prevented me from taking any sort of camera down to the pool. However, here’s a rough description of the routine: One set of dips (in the deep end, submerged to the elbows). Swim underwater to the shallow end.

Week Two – Day One: Starting the cycle again.

Published on November 21st, 2011 by in Blog

Long day today. The sun hit my bed in the guest room up north at half past five in the morning. Not much chance of going back to sleep after that. Being without my weights, I pushed a little bit harder than normal on my C25K trek, which proved to be a little bit of

Week One – Day Seven: The week in review

Published on November 20th, 2011 by in Blog

This’ll be another quick and picture less addition to the project. I’m in the guest room of my old mentors house, far away from my PC. Already it seems like much longer than a week since I started this project, and a few things have come to my attention: – I’m not that keen on

Week One – Day Six: Good food, good exercise.

Published on November 19th, 2011 by in Blog

Today was a great day. Got up and had bacon and eggs, cooked tomatoes and spinach, finished some laundry, cleaned the kitchen, the hit the pool for some exercise. Hit up the leisure centre with my housemate for some unwind time in the spa, zone three in the evening for a friends birthday party, and
