Breathe
Breathe the pressure. Come play my game, I’ll test ya
If, four months ago, you’d have said that I would at one point utter the phrase “I think I can fit some stairs in before I start the cheese.” to myself, I’d have laughed. But here we are, in the most ridiculous timeline where scheduling 45-60 minutes of intense cardio is a part of my daily timetable. And if you do something often enough, it’ll just become part of Normal.
Let’s look at-

So yeah: May was a hard month for Vibes. I had other things scheduled away from home, so I had three fewer gym visits to account for in the monthly total, which made the remaining visits so. fucking. hard. Having to suddenly do 125-150% of what you’re used to is something that is all but guaranteed to piss your legs & lungs off.
But it’s not all crap and gloom! Last session I managed to make it to my session minimum in one go instead of in two or more parts, as I have done before now.
That’s a boost I most definitely needed.
Onward and Upward!
