Gym. Again

I’m still exercising semi-regularly and I’m very pleased that I’m able to keep doing just that. My “every-other-day”-schedule tends to slip every now and then, sometimes because I can’t find the time to go, other times because I just don’t feel like exercising.

I probably should go even if I don’t feel like it, but I have come to the (favorable) conclusion that it’s important to me not to force myself to go all the time. If I do that, it’ll probably be a pain in the ass to go every time at some point.

Another thing I have come to realize is that I don’t have the right attitude to get in really great shape. I don’t mind getting tired and break a sweat, but I don’t like getting so tired I can feel the taste of blood in my mouth. So I’ll most likely never run a marathon or compete in Birken, but as long as I keep doing what I’m doing right now, I’ll stay in reasonably good shape.

My gym has a nice thing going once in a while, where if you train 2 times or more a week for a certain period of time (e.g. 2 mnths) you get a price, like a t-shirt or something. Now, the price itself isn’t much, but once you’re halfway you don’t wanna give up, so it’s an effective motivator.

It’s the same thing at my gym, but since I have support duty every 4th week, I’ll never get that cool t-shirt…
