treadmills are for chumps

so i went to the gym today because i couldn't bare the thought of going to sweat training in the rain. i am aware that this is not acceptable practice. particularly as i decided this immediately after getting a 'training continues in the rain' email from sean. ah well.

but pretty much it sucked. 70 minutes on the treadmill, including 5 min walking at the start and finish. it was so boring. i hated it. plus i sweated heaps more than i ever have before because you don't notice it when the air is evaporating it!! i also noticed a lot of girls with the speed up so high they had to hang off the top of the display. surely that is cheating? i kept it at at a nice sedate pace...

anyway - LOVING my new job. more training and starting the meetings today. i have a HUGE office with a gorgeous view of the botanic gardens and woolloomooloo. very spoiled. can already tell i'll love it. happy days :)

off to training...

It's not REALLY cheating. Not in the way that snuggling under the doona and pretending to be asleep is cheating, anyway.

No excuses. So view of the gardens. I wonder how long it will be before someone cons you into Pain in the Domain at lunch time?

Hi Ellie

enjoyed reading your blog...your recent fitness efforts have put me to shame. Compared to your training regime I'm virtually a sloth!

Good on you for sticking with it though Ellie - I just couldn't cope with a tready.

Good to hear you are enjoying the new job too ;-)

I think Blkbox is a little too used to using the "it's raining excuse"...try, "My hot water service broke and my house is flooded" next time. :)
