Am I one of the slackers?

I never thought that I would be one of those slack arses that Flames would have to call.. You know on their ad’s how they say they will call you? Well Latoya called me on Tuesday. I hadn’t been to Flames for 5 or 6 days. As you all know (and I know) I have still been exercising so I don’t feel guilty or anything. My knee has been killing me and I have found that gym work is just not helping it. Not only that I have mentioned to you all that I am looking for a bit more variety nowadays. Now that I can do more. It is true and I have to agree with them that the level of intensity in what I am doing outside of the gym is probably different BUT I will say that if I don't mix it up and do other things I will go out of my mind! Variety, variety variety…

So I went back to Flames yesterday. For some reason it was very quiet there. A lot of the regulars seemed to be away – or sleeping in.. I had a slight problem though. Don’t worry it didn’t affect my training at all but it did smell. I went to the pool before work on Tuesday and swam a km – more on that later.. Anyway so yesterday even though I had a shower at the pool I was still sweating out chlorine and it stank.. lol.. Lucky it wasn’t onions as well.

I went to the pool Tuesday as mentioned and swam a km. I only had 40minutes to do it in plus I wanted to do some running laps. It was good to go swimming. Swimming doesn't have the intensity of running on the treadmill for example but you know, I like it and I think that sometimes you have to just do the things that you enjoy to keep yourself going..

Who cares if walking your dog for an hour after work may not be the same intensity but exercise is exercise and it is all about moving, staying focussed but above all staying interested.
