Needless to say, I didn't get a shag (be it woolly, feathered or otherwise). Nor did I get vodka. By the time I got home, I had the energy to check e-mail, make a new LJ icon (that still looks skinny after being stretched sideways in Photoshop, though at least it's pigeon-toed), and then go to bed.

i thought that exercise was supposed to make you sleep better? Since starting the gym thing, I've been waking up throughout the night & not getting back to sleep. I'm knackered & mentally dazed all the time. I'm not overdoing it (checking heart rates etc). Bah.

Mind you; after 4 visits, I've upped the amount I can run lurch from 1km in 10m to 1.8km in 15 mins. I can run lurch for 15 minutes without stopping! Go me! God I'm crap.

What time of day do you go to the gym? Is it late in the day?

Perhaps you're just waking up in the middle of the night out of vodka-lust?...

I'm not sure I can lurch for 15 minutes at the moment, I am no doubt in worse shape than you.

you bring the vodka...

Oh god, I just found out that I've got a place on this year's Moonwalk. This means that I have to be able to walk thirteen miles in one go. By May 20th. Aaargh!

Still, at least I don't have to run. I very much doubt that I could manage 1.8km in 15 minutes!

If this is the first training you've done in ages perhaps just go every other day? Training everyday is good for building up muscles, but for cardio and lung capacity stuff every other day works just as well and gives you a little time to get used to the effort.

Well, Sweetie, it takes more than 4 times to the gym to reap the benefits of sound sleep. If you can work out later in the evening, it will help you remain asleep easier as well.

I just restarted water aerobics after more than a year absence. By the end of the first class, my arms are soooo sore!

You'd make an ace zommer.

God I'm crap.

If everyone who isn't-all-that-good at running were crap, the world would be an even smellier place. Lurching for 15 minutes is already pretty good - just watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre if you don't believe me.
