So there’s been a bit of a dilemma with my so-called-running regime. Been jogging somewhat consistently in the past couple of weeks (except for my brief holiday in Manila) but my time doesn’t seem to be improving and I’m still left breathless after (a mere) 3km run.

Friends are saying, “But Anna, you should be able to run faster! You look fit!”. As I’ve said to them for what seems like gazillions of times, I’m all about poser muscles and not about cardio. Man, conquering all these cardio workouts are elusive to me.

Despite ranting and raving about how I suck with cardio, like the slow but steady tortoise, I’ll continue. I’ll continue jogging despite being damn slow at it. So if you see me at a run in the near future, well, yes I’m the one who’s swearing breathlessly near the end of the pack.

“Karen” 150 Wallballs for Time
Result: 23:39 (10lbs)
OMG! I died-ed! I think I took the longest time ever to finish off this workout. My cardio’s so bad that it sure ain’t funny.

Did about 50 pull-ups (CTB) before heading off to TTDI park for a short jog (where I added another 25 pull-ups thereafter). Managed to cover approx 3km. Averaging about 7 mins per km. FML -____-”

Five rounds for time of:
10 Pull Ups
10 Goblet Squats @ 32kg
10 Box Jumps @ 24″
Result: Approx 20mins (24kg)
Slow and steady, it’s all about the form bay-beh :p (Excuses, excuses). Did the pull ups on rings and twas ok. The goblet squats and box jumps combined together were quite a killer.

Started my deadlift 30-day challenge as well today. It’s supposed to begin on June 1, but as I’ll be away for about 10-days in June, I’m starting it a tad bit earlier so that I don’t have too much to catch up on when I get back to town come mid-June. Anyway did 2 reps of 130lbs before I left the gym.

As of today, I have approximately 730 pull ups to go. Eeks! Godspeed!
