Ok so I abandoned what should have been my second run of week 2 tonight (ashamed face) but you'll be glad to hear I was duely punished. You see it was very very cold and I wasnt particularly looking forward to it when my sister asked me to go spinning with her. Now Im not a big fan of spinning I havent done it in years but she was really keen so I agreed, figured a little cross training wouldn't hurt. I. Was. Wrong. So very wrong.
Why oh why did I skip that run, a form of cardio that doesnt involve an all too intimate relationship with an inexplicably shaped bicycle seat. I sat on that bike fixated on the open door, wondering if I could beat the rather toned looking instructor in a footrace.
So when it comes to mixing in other excercises I'm basically on the fence, which after that class is even more uncomfortable than usual. As far as cardio goes it wasnt a bad workout but will I manage a John Wayne inspired run tomorrow? Only time, and the state of my quads, will tell.
Anyone else throwing in a (non-running) related activity to boost cardio? Think I might be doing myself more harm than good here :/
W1R2-No one warned me about the chaffing!! 😳
