Well, I'm not normally one to gloat. But I finally completed that couch to 5k program I've been doing for a little while. I cranked out my 5km in 30 minutes, at an unsurprising average speed of 10 km/h. I was pretty happy with that, because awhile ago on my last blog I set some goals about being able to run, and putting on some weight. And you know what! I've achieved them both!
It may have taken me 18 months, but I have managed to put back on all the weight I lost over my PhD and some muscle too. I've finally cracked 80kg! I'm probably the fittest I've ever been. Which is good, because apparently 25 years of age is my biological peak anyway. So woo yeah! Bring on my epic fat man, beer gut, back hair body odour decline!
For now though, I'm going to the gym with people from Uni. I'm enjoying the weights, but I'm really enjoying the spin classes. Mr Shouty man makes me drip sweat like never before. So fun! I love his slogans though. They are ridiculous until you find yourself believing them.
Internal monologue: "Maybe it is all in my mind, maybe I am the only thing holding me back. Maybe I am here for the pain..."
Ah shouty man, why can't my own motivation be more like you!?
