Dances with Worms

I decided I needed some variety so signed up to the Energised Performance Big Beasting on 21st August: 100 minutes of circuits in Blaise on a damp grey morning. Great fun and definitely a challenge but I haven’t run since! It left me mentally tired as I don’t normally do that sort of thing.

The obvious thing to do to cure this was repeat the exercise so I trotted off to Blaise again this morning. I have learnt such a lot through running. Drills and exercises on a beautiful day in a lovely park brought the following learning outcomes:

• Press-ups on grass give you a close up view of worm casts while on the spot sprints make the worms come to the surface.
• Side steps make children on the playground stare
• Two women (aged 60+ and 40+) sprinting towards a bench where a man is sitting make the man (and his dog) move away pretty sharpish
• I need to do more upper body work.

But looking on the bright side, I wasn’t wiped out this time.  Looking forward to next time.
