Evening Gym Run

I really didn't fancy another morning or rushing around the house, running up and down the stairs and dashing out the door to get the train.

This morning was a leisurely get out of bed and get ready, it was nice showering at home! My journey was fine until, the train decided to go slow, and then wait outside the station, due to congestion. Then I got the bus, as I'd been to a few shops and was running out of time. That was a mistake, but I'd made the decision and once you make a London Transport decision, you have to stick with it! The traffic was bad, I had to get off at St Paul's. So I ended up walking anyway.

I had lunch pilates, so I knew I would get my activity in, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from running and besides I had my Nike+ to calibrate. Pilates was just what I needed, the stretching and core exercises are brilliant.

After work I headed of to the gym downstairs. I was about the thread through the Nike+ sensor pouch to my lases and I made a great discovery. My trainers already have the slot for the sensor! I honestly didn't know. I'd bought the trainers in a Outlet shop in Salford, cos they were cheap! I'm going back on Saturday to stock up on more running gear. I had everything ready, but couldn't get the sensor the work. Damn. I ran anyway, the distraction was good. I was thinking about what was wrong and not the running.

Tomorrow morning is weigh day. I really hope I've lost something! If I lose 2lbs I will get my 10% key chain.

I have a new Gadget

I've not been able blog from work today. Wednesday is press day and in the world of TV listings magazines, once the schedules lock and the magazine gets printed.

An empty gym this morning. Very strange. I got to pick the treadmill I like, the one where you can't see in the mirror. I don't like seeing myself sweating and looking bright red.

I went straight to level 9. This morning I used the Jubilee line and didn't have the 30 minute walk, which gets me all hot and sweaty, even before I've made it into the gym. I decided I was going to run 2k and use the rowing machine for 15 minutes, which would make my cardio workout 30 minutes. I'm not a big fan of the rower, I don't really enjoy it. 15 minutes, is the most I've use it, but I don't think I got much out of it. I'm going to try the rower first next time.

Before I started Juneathon, I thought about getting the Nike+ Running gadget. I'm massive gadget fiend and want anything that's new. I'm also a Mac not PC! So the a gadget, that works perfectly with my iPod Nano (bought in 2005), is great. I ordered the Nikey thing using my nectar points, so all that swiping at Sainsburys paid off! It was delivered this morning, so I'm well exited about seeing my stats tomorrow. I'm gonna go, cos I need to read the maunal before tomorrows run!
