Well I knew I had been lagging in my work outs, ok not working out, so I knew I was out of shape but wow today it really hit home.
Everyone has a barometer to go by that tells them the shape they are in, my barometer is running distance & pace.
Well today my pace for one mile was as bad as I thought it would be but the second mile was horrible.
In fact I’m embarrassed to say that I ran one mile walked a lap on the quarter mile track and then ran my second ragged mile.
Well this is only a start with the running as I have been doing cardio indoors on my elliptical trainer but that’s just for convenience when I cannot get out to run. For me only a run can tell my true physical shape and I have a ways to go before I’m where I like to be.
Even though my strength is not so far out of whack my criteria for being in shape is the formula of high flexibility, strength, cardio mixed in with the mental mind and body are one philosophy.
As I have done since junior high it’s I’m really ramping up to that all encompassing Darryl Hoytt all around shape and the work has begun!
Feel that burn baby burn!
Out of Shape!
