Why I am not blogging so far this month about fitness

NaNoWriMo.  To some that might mean something. To others it is an excuse.
It is National November Writing Month do 50,000 words and you are considered a winner.


That is why there has been not much content -Look for a return to the fitness blog on Dec 1/12
Oh I am at 39,550 as of today's date - 79% complete.

See ya in a week, boy do I need to work out!

Fit and 50

Well these last two weeks has sure taught me that having a plan is great, sticking to a workout is better and dogs and skunks don't mix.   More about that later or you can check out my other blog.  Which is my writing blog; http://dwadee-pullupasandbag.blogspot.com/    

Simplify, by working out just prior to writing.  I am a participant in NaNoWriMo, a month of writing to attain 50,000 words.  My workout has suffered as a result.  I am helping my beautiful and talented artist painter wife with her craft/art fairs so ..... I am busy.

Back on Tuesday wit my adjustments to make my fit program more lean and mean like I want to be!

Clear Sailing

So tonight I ran-walked through a 28 minute workout - HR maxed out at 171, muscles are feeling it now and worked on a consistent push while running. Stride and breathing very important and each footfall has to be made so that the stress to the knees is reduced.   Did a mountain climber part way though and did alternating high knee lifts too, overall a great workout.  1 minute running and 2 minute resting from the beginning. Used the Garmin, made some notes.  The weather was cold and clear, wore my Adidas shoes and my Reebok top.
Good choice for the crisp clear evening, great attitude, had scooby-doo pasta and the sauce from last night,
must remember to stretch and get up early tomorrow.  Deep breathing in is easier if you focus on breathing the stale air completely out. Oh yeah needed a toque! Winter is on its way.
