I have known this for a very long time, but sometimes you just forget, I am a plow horse. I have always been a plow horse, but have tried a few times to be a race horse, but I just can't do it.
I can walk miles and miles no worries no hurries, and my major complaint is general fatigue and maybe torn up toes. I can ride a bike for miles and miles as long as I don't have to go up any hills. I can do the ellipitcal stationary bike and swim for extended periods of time just as long as I don't a. - get out of breath and b. - have muscle aches.
This mental attitude has never served me well as an athelete. I am the first to complain if I hurt or am out of breath. I am the first one to stop and whine and I will be the first to cut it short. I basically don't like pain of any kind and I hate being out of breath.
So today I did the ellipitcal, a diffrent program, and it didn't hurt but it made me tired, but that was okay, but I didn't do 140 strides per minute and I didn't keep my pulse over 120. But I was satisfied, so I went in to do my swim. I decided that I was making it to easy so I upped the current (I doubled it) and I had muscle ache. My 30 minute swim turned n 10 minute swim then into the hottub wondering why I am doing this.
As I write this my arms still hurt, so this is all you get.

ReplyDeleteplow horse - race horse (tsh is a pretty show race horse however).
Glad you used the hot tub - green water is wonderful!
You're selling yourself short as an athlete (well, maybe the biking up hills part is accurate - tsh can't do it either) & i say you're way more than a Plow Horse. However, Plow Horses are great - how else would we have grain for Wheat Thins?
Thrones got a super review!
I say get off the throne and back on the bike!
