For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.
Okay, to show my commitment to both blogging and to exercise, here is the latest from the Incremental Marathon. I have decided to turn off all audio cues during exercise. Instead, I am paying attention to both my breath and the blood flow through my eyes. That is, if I’m pushing myself too hard, I start to see the blood throb in my eyesight.
I have lost all motivation for blogging. I do not have the energy to share my thoughts with the few readers that frequent. My motivation always fluctuates in regards to blogging. However, since about October of last year, life has been handing me one challenge after another. These challenges have severely impacted my self-esteem and self-worth. It is only recently that I’ve begun to pull myself out of my morass. I have done some posts on the challenges, but I’ve not taken the time to write more extensively on them and how I’ve allowed them to beat me down. Suffice it to say that I’ve worked on self-compassion. So, this post – hopefully – is the first effort at getting myself back into a desire to write.
So, I’ve not been the most motivated with my exercise. I’ve also not been the most motivated in posting the results to my blog. So, hence this catch-up post.
The app messed up this map. Somehow the GPS didn’t stop registering even though the app stopped monitoring. So, that straight line is my drive to work. However, all the stats for this run appear to be correct.
Really, there’s nothing to say about this run.
This run felt pretty good. I pushed myself on heart-rate, which seemed to clear my head.
All it did was sprinkle. And then only during the last 8 minutes or so of the run. I missed the heavy rain which occurred before I hit the pavement. It wasn’t a bad run considering I took six days off. Still, I would have liked a heavier rain in which to run.
I’ve been a bit delinquant in posting my Incremental Marathon and La Tour de Rook legs. Without further todo –
And this the day after I had a colonoscopy.
Update: I forgot to mention I also ran in the rain. I love running in the rain.
Today’s run.
I did two workouts today. My first was a bike ride.
The second was a run.
I decided to cross the St. Louis River into Superior. It’s a tougher ride over to Wisconsin than back. It’s a long uphill pedal to the east.
So, after yesterday’s adventure in bicycling, today I decided to go for a run. I did 45 minutes. After that, I did a little short of 4 minutes cool down walk. The maps are below.
