I felt used at parkrun, but not sore. Just a bit depleted which was to be expected. I thought maybe do a nice, steady 32 mins and was pretty much spot on with that.

Rest day tomorrow so a nice 48 hours before I try anything daft 😂

BezMills · 09/09/2023 15:22

Swam weds, BodyCombat Thursday, swam and BodyCombat Friday.

Today - Solent Swim : completed it mate. Found it hard going physically and mentally.

My gofasta wettie shrank (hush at the back), and it was a pain to swim in. My swim buddy was a perfect match, we both swam really well. 2k, 45 minutes.

Well done, Bez! That's a brilliant time 🥳
I was jealous of your swim so I managed to get down to the beach for a quick dip after my class this morning. It was only 15 mins but the weather is so beautiful it was perfect. And there are major rain and thunder storms forecast this evening and tomorrow might not get a chance again for a while.

Well done Bez! StarStarStar. That's awesome 👏

I cannot tell you how jealous I am of the sea swim Motherforkin. Hope your shoulder is okay

I didn't do anything today, too busy with general weekend stuff and dropping kids here, there and everywhere. Will do something tomorrow.

ShadyPaws · 09/09/2023 19:39

Too hot, a car crashed into the BT box so no internet which means no peloton Angry

BezMills · 10/09/2023 07:02

@ShadyPaws catastrophe! My thoughts are with you at this difficult time! Hope you are back online soon.

roonetta · 10/09/2023 14:51

So annoying Shady. Hope you're back online now.

Strength workout with Trinny and Nathalie done ✔️

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 11/09/2023 17:53

I hope normal service has resumed Shady.

I am mojo-less again so i did a 30 minute pilates thing on youtube instead of going for a run.

A nice, basic local run for me along one of my happy routes. I got a free warm shower in the last mile too 😂

ShadyPaws · 11/09/2023 19:00

@MotherForkinShirtBalls sadly not! I am still minus internet and being very annoyed at BT

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 12/09/2023 18:13

I'm not surprised you're annoyed, Shady, we'd never survive a proper outage here.

Gym today.

This week is bedlam at work so I got to the gym for an early class and it turned out one of my favourite evening instructors was subbing in. Unfortunately he made me work much harder than the usual phoning it in morning guy.

Any sign of your broadband Shady?

Finally have internet back. Apparently 200 houses were affected! In time for the weekend anyway as I've spotted a spin class I want to do

BezMills · 15/09/2023 07:51

Yessss glad you got back online @ShadyPaws

Haha at the love-hate thing with the best instructors hammering you. @MotherForkinShirtBalls It's one of my instructor goals really.

I taught BC on Sunday, which was a bit of a faff around as we were camping on Sat night. So had to jump in the caralar and go home to get a shower and my gym kit. Scraped into the gym about 5 mins before my class to find I had a new person! Yay to that. Had a lovely 9-track class, which after my exertions from the day before, left me at destination DEAD.

Had a restful week after that, didn't even go swimming. I taught my class last night, then did the next class as a participant - the dreaded BodyPump. I rather unwisely didn't save my legs while teaching Combat (first rule of Combat, work harder than the class), but I did use veh veh low weights.

I've decided for to change things up for the rest of the year - swimming is OUT (just doing a bimble when the tides are right) and BodyPump and Deadlifts are IN.

I shall be teaching BC today, then I have a lovely 45 minutes back massage (just before I have to fetch DD from school and take her swimming).

This was not a playlist to have on with any children around!
Tough ride, one point was 110 cadence and 60 resistance

I've just about heard of Sisqo. I've completely lost touch with new music now and am at the stage where it tends to sound very alike to me 😂
90s dance playlists for hard running are edgy enough for me. Heavy metal tends to be good too.

I had my 90s/00s playlist on at parkrun. I had to skip Genesis. They'd have ruined my pace 🤣

Sub-30 parkrun today 😎 A course best for that one too. Pleasing as I didn't have a particular agenda either. That course gets really busy, especially being mid-pack so it's hard to pace right from the start. Second half was a 28 min pace, faster than the first.

Rest day yesterday paid off nicely!

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 16/09/2023 16:01

Great work, Bogroll!

Gym class early. It was supposed to be home and onto the couch for the rest of the day, lighting the fire and ignoring the horrible weather, but I've been running from Billy to jack since 11.30 and still have to hoover the house...

I did double trouble again on Friday. This time Pump first, heavier weights this time but still lightish. Taught combat next, just me and my 81yo participant. He is inspirational! Obvioysly not that limber but he turns up at least once a week and is game as heck.

129 days, resting today.

Full body DOMS, like everything. I love it!

roonetta · 17/09/2023 12:25

What is 'Throat Goat' Shady?!! 😂😂😂. On second thoughts, maybe I don't need to know.

Love the sound of your 81 year old client Bez ❤️

Felt a bit under the weather this week so nothing done since Wednesday. Feeling a bit brighter today so Nathalie Hayward strength workout done.

BezMills · 17/09/2023 13:04

I taught mt last Sunday for a while, today. Next week it is Anna Sensei's return, my instructor. It is bittersweet for me. I am happy to give her my spot - I always intended and hoped this would happen. But I am giving up something too, something I have grown to really love.
This week was a big turnout, 12 people or so. Very happy with that for my last Sunday sesh.
130!

Everyone in the house is a bit under the weather so I just did a gently pilates stretching routine today.

Running. Lots of soggy running.
Was so bored yesterday I went for a run and the heavens opened.

Long run today... very squelchy.

Good job I like warm rain!

BezMills · 18/09/2023 16:05

@BogRollBOGOF I got squelchy yesterday too.

Went to the gym just in my gym gear by bike, and just as I was about to leave huge thunderstorm started. I was already soaked in sweat and it wasn't cold, so I just got on the bike and cycled home in absolute sheets of rain.
