Marathon Training – Days 53 to 55

Well, this is very depressing.

I had hoped I wouldn’t get to the day quite so soon where I’d write a three-for-one blog post about my marathon training, but since the results are the same for each day, I’ll have to just say I did no training for the last 3 days. Things just got absolutely crazy with Christmas Party season and pre-recording continuity for 3e and I just didn’t get a chance to get into the gym on Friday or Saturday. It was literally from the radio show on Friday, to recording continuity, to home, to the Christmas Party, to bed, to our Guess the Wreck Final, to home to food shopping for party to bed to party to bed. It was absolutely manic.

That being said, I could easily have squeezed in some gym time on Sunday, but after two very heavy and late nights and still with continuity to script for 3e, I actually couldn’t muster the energy or enthusiasm to be honest.

Now, for the silver lining bit. I can’t believe that after 13 years of doing practically no exercise, I’m so annoyed at myself for not having done any exercise in 3 days. I’m genuinely livid with myself, and not just because of the lack of exercise, but also for the amount of junk food and alcohol I’ve consumed in the 3 days that I haven’t done exercise! I mean, it’s disgusting the amount of crap I’ve put through my body (though I am rather proud of it in another way!). It feels like in 3 days I’ve undone maybe two weeks of exercise and healthy eating, if not more.

So will days 53-55 have definitely no been good, they have firmed my resolve (yeah, you heard) to get back into it now and keep pusing on!
