My nipples! My poor, poor nipples!!<\/p>\n
In a much better mood now. I was running late escaping work (okay, I was actually<\/i> posting to a.b haha) and thought I’d miss Spin class. <\/p>\n
Home, change, run (yeah, sick innit?!) to the gym. Phew! Made it just in time.<\/p>\n
My legs were feeling pretty trashed from Monday’s Spin and Tuesday’s Pump class (feckin’ squats!) so I figured I’d do it as easy as I could without looking too<\/i> soft in front of the instructor\/class.<\/p>\n
I started slow (I guess? Need my HRM!) but ended up pushing harder at the end than I thought I could\/would. I had some seriously odd mental imagery going on to get me through the painful stuff – don’t ask.<\/p>\n
Somewhere in the middle (in a 3min high-cadence block) my calves started cramping and I had to slow down. Tried all kinds of quick position changes and pedaling but nothing fixed it. Probably due to too much coffee, not enough water, not enough sleep and I was wearing my runners rather than my SPD shoes. These are wider and don’t fit properly in the straps, forcing me to twist my feet more than usual.<\/p>\n
Even when I try to take it as easy as possible in this class I still look more fscked at the end than everyone else and have a lake of sweat around my bike. I felt bad about this when I started but now I just tell myself that the others are doing it too easy.. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The instructor complimented me on my effort, which was odd (but nice of her) given that I aimed to wuss out! <\/p>\n
I staggered out the door and ran, okay, jogged home (4min). Unleashed the beast *cough* for a piss and dropped my water bottle off. Straight back out the door for a lap of EARL (EAling Run Loop).<\/p>\n
Now<\/i> I remember why I hate running! This run felt well dodgy – my feet hurt, my shins hurt, my quads hurt and I had a stitch. This is fun, right? \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n
I thought about shortening it but knew I’d probably get lost so I just did the standard loop. Dodged a few cars which cost me time (not that I was checking my watch) and felt shite for the first half. I pushed a bit harder at the half-way point (so people walking weren’t passing me too often ;)) and harder again near the end, still feeling shite. Ended up with 41:51<\/b>, which isn’t too bad for me considering the state of my legs before and after Spin. It’s actually quicker than a bunch of times when I’d only<\/i> done a run. Bully for me! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
“What’s the vaseline for, hip?”<\/p>\n
Once my t-shirt is fully soggyfied from Spin, it tends to cling to my chest. Man-boobs, I mean err.. my huge pecs.. bounce when running. I have nipple chaffing!! Ow!! Need to apply some vas before doing this again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It’s not as bad as “this one time at band camp” doing an ergo+run session at CCW with Mick when my white t-shirt ended up stained through with blood from some extra-severe nipple chaffing! Yay for nipples!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
