Yo! Today was another cardio heavy day for me. I'm determined not to be caught out in a comp by 20 seconds again.
At lunchtime I ran again.... it was about 33 minutes and 3.8 kilometers, and I still had to walk the last little bit. It was better than my run on Wednesday, but my Achilles really aren't happy with this big jerk bully. The difference between Mondays run and todays run is just huge though, I really feel like I've improved in just this week.
After work I was keen to make throw up in her mouth by doing more of these guys:

5 hill sprints and they're definitely getting easier. They still suck more than anything else I do.. but I don't immediately feel like death afterwards... I just feel like the oldest man in the world.
I smashed out some yoga because I've just been feeling so super tight in the hamstrings and calves. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I really don't enjoy yoga at all. I'm so tight and my muscles are always so sore, that I'm just incredibly uncomfortable for the entire time... and my flexibility and balance are terrible... so I'm really bad at it. These are all the reasons why I have to do more of it... but man, I'd so honestly rather throw myself at some crazy hard death obstacle instead.

As per today's photo, smashed out some slackline time too. I'm very nearly getting to a whole balanced step... again I feel like I've improved a lot in just a week... starting new things is awesome.
You really can improve within just a week.... as long as you're super terrible to begin with... this is so super exciting to me, because I'm terrible at so many things, so my capacity to improve is almost unlimited!! Whooo!
