I am an ass. I mean really, I have the keys to taking care of myself and being in top physical form and yet I waste it away.
Here I am around 71 kilos again and also feeling that the size of my body is just pure fat! My tendons keep getting tighter and tighter and it's affecting my running.
And I can't afford that.
See in March I signed up for the Boilermaker and I got in to the 15 K. Yep, the big one. And I have been training, but the thing is, I have not done enough to strengthen my legs, especially, my thighs. They are so tight. I can't lift them high enough to get the proper running form. So I just scuff around and that makes me slow and tired! I just ran the Freihofer's and I needed 34:40 to complete it! Terribly time and due to tried legs.
I have run 15 k twice, both at about 2hrs. 10 min. This is adequate, but not at all the time I want. So the other day I worked out on a machine that really worked my legs. It was amazing. Burned the crap out of them! So I know that is the ticket to loose legs and faster times.
