Apathy

I’ve been pretty quiet on here really. If truth be told a touch of apathy set in after the Killerthon. I ached after that race but not in the good - I’ve worked some muscles and tomorrow I will be ripped kind of way, I ached in the - I have done some damage to my muscles and joints I just hope it isn’t permanent, sort of way. I couldn’t walk let alone run, I succeeded in letting the air out of my bike tyre and I have a kayak on order (three weeks) that is so good I don’t get much pleasure from my current boat. So for the last two weeks I have done next to nothing that is even vaguely exercise related, I haven’t even wanted to get out and do something, instead I have sat on my arse playing the playstation. It hasn’t been good.

Well it’s the first day of a new month and time for change. Remember I worked out the weight of my new boat and then loaded up my barbell to match, well the weights are now in the front room rather than in the spare room under some clothes so I can’t conveniently forget about them, and I have started doing a set of lifts between games of MW2 (This is the ultimate in time management, PS3 game time and weight lifting). This is the first time I have done static lifts for about 12 months and my arms and shoulders ache this morning (the good ache). I am off for a game of squash tonight with a mate from work for the first time in well over a month, the advantage of having a mate is that you can’t let him down with a dose of apathy that could otherwise come up with an excuse to not bother. Also with a long Easter weekend starting tomorrow I intend to do something, I don’t know what that something is yet as it will be dependent on weather but I aim to spend at least one of the days getting well and truly knackered.
