Hi Everyone,
First a weekend report. I went off like a frog in a sock! Staurday I did 3 hours fo solid gardening and then on Sunday I went bezerk out there. Starting at about 10am, I finally came in after an hour and a half of mowing at 830 that night. I had some breaks throughout the day, but I'm claiming a quite conservative 5 hours. Rest assured there was lots of digging, building new raised veggie garden bed, digging, planting, digging, weeding, digging and various other garden tasks. Including digging. 3 + 5 for 8 hours total.
Today however, after a 6 month hiatus, I went to the gym at lunch time. I did a "hi reps" pump class and can report that it's a special kind of hell. After the initial leg work...lunges and squats...i could barely stand. In fact throughout the biceps work that followed I was in danger of collapsing as my legs uncontrollably shook and spasmed. Luckily I was soon distracted by other muscle burning sensations and an urge to vomit during the ab component. I obviously survived, somehow managed to navigate down the stairs afterwards despite my legs not wanting to hold me up and walked back to work. Another hour to the total. 9 hours total "out there".
I've watched a couple of TED talks tonight including this very short one entreating us all to Try Something New for 30 Days. Hard to argue with something as simple as that. I will be having a little think about how I might do something along these lines over the next week or so.
Signing off for now!
Dave
