vicarzI still mentally compose posts but then don't make them.
Last night I went to another arcade and bar; played golden axe for a bit. Like some other memories that don't stand the test of time, I don't seem to be terribly good at the game. Sadly my legs were so tired from running I was barely able to dance as kiss-kiss bang-bang.
So I'm trying to...I can't say I'm fat, but I can say my pants don't fit. I'm not sure what the sudden change is - surgery? Drinking more often? Restaurants more often? But I weigh more and my pants don't fit, while I don't seem remarkably stronger so...what else do you call it? So I'm trying to be a little more responsible about drinking, eating, and in the gym I'm adding back in running.
I hate cardio. At the same time, I also had my bp/hr taken at work the other day by our office nurse, who noted it was very good...she handed me a chart for basic information and described how being athletic and healthy essentially meant your pulmonary system remains more elastic. I looked up bp/hr figures online, and it seemed to support that theory as a hr for athletic at 18 was nearly the same as athletic at 75.
At the same time I'm trying to bring up the training volume in the gym, as Mike noted. So I'm super watching form, bringing up the volume without mercy, and making my workouts much longer (including a lot of that yoga crap).
With that, it's hard to do cardio in addition but I'm still trying to run my 3 miles in 30 minutes at incline 3. I stopped for a bit but since my strength is just a silly fetish anyway, and the cardio arguably has a larger impact on my average health, I'm trying to keep it in the program.
Also I suck at boxing. I finally got around to hitting the heavy bag and I was awful. So now I'm bringing my coffee timer to the gym, making 3 minutes rounds, and doing some simple bag work with gloves on. It's cardio I hate less, and I could really use that work.
The more I do it, the less it hurts, and the more I enjoy it. In that sense it's addictive, and I appreciate the cardio gains and returning strength. Speaking of, my strength is largely back.
Can this be as dull as it sounds? It's important to me but it's like describing my financial portfolio.
