I Was Tricked!

All the trainers have you set a goal or an intention before the big cardio classes so that you have something to work towards.  In today's mountain class, I wanted to run for 7.5 minutes which would be tough, but... I would like to be a runner again so bring it on.

Just as I was going to finish my 7.5 minutes, Sione (our trainer) added a surprise two minutes on to the total!  He tricked me into an extra 2!  I was ready to give up.  I could not suck enough oxygen.  I barely made it but I did it.  9.5 minutes for the day.  Of course, my knee and ankles are throbbing but sucking it up.

I haven't decided yet, but I may try and do my treading class tomorrow as a run/jog.  That would be:
5 minutes run at your top speed
5 recovery (not at your lowest, at about a 5 on the 1-10 scale)
4 run top speed
4 walk
3 run
3 walk
2 run
2 walk
1 run
1 walk
It sounds easy, right.  :)  I'll be looking for partners to do this with when I get back to Melbourne!

I'll let you know how I do.
