Today I went on an hike up at Tveitevarden again. My legs felt extreamly heave today so I did not do any running on the way up, I just walked quickly. Because of this I was certain I would not get a very good time, however I was only 2 minutes behind my personal best, and still below 50 minutes, as I did it in 48 minutes. I take this as a good sign that I am getting in better shape, even on a not to good day I get an ok time :)
One reason the end time was not to bad today might be that I walked very fast up the last 1/3 of the hike. You see, as I passed around 2/3 of the way up I met a group of nice ladies and gentlemen, all retired, all 60+, out on their weekly trip. Today they had chosen Tveitevarden as their hike of the week. There were about 20 of them and a couple of them had to use a walking stick to balance themselves.
So, here I meet this group coming down as I was going up, and I started a race in my mind, that I would reach the top and then catch up with them before they reached the end of the track. So I walked as hard as I could for the top and did quite a bit of running going back down again.
I never saw the group again!!!
I am telling myself over and over again that they have had to take a different route then me back down!!!
Well, well. now I am waiting for my wife to get back from her hike, she left after the kids had gone to bed, and then we will do the JM30Shred routine together.
(Not trying to be cool or anything, it is just to long to write Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred so I shortened it to JM30Shred)
