NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Slacking? No Way!

Due to the late evening at work today I had to reorganise my training in the light of the suggestion that I might be slacking.

So left for work bright and early as normal and did:

10 min run to gym
40 min swim session focussing on full-stroke with good technique and drills
20 min easy spinning on gym bike, low power but higher than normal cadence
40 min core, stretch and flex
10 min run back to the office

So 2 hours clocked up on a day that may have been "lost" due to work. I think that's a result.

Oooo! Always a good sign when T Man gets angry when the suggestion of slacking is muted! last year he would have just agreed that he was a slacker!

Kelda said...

Agreed Sags! Bet you felt really pious too when you arrived for work Turbo!

Turbo Man said...

I might have done, if I knew what that word meant! :-)

Kelda said...

pious; adj, 2nd meaning; 'a hypocritical display of virtue'

Turbo Man said...

ooh, definitely NOT hypocritical, I was definitely virtuous though!

Kelda said...

Mmm I was surprised at the hypocrytical bit when I looked it up, virtuous is certainly the word!
