I did 30 minutes on my cross trainer and racked up the furthest I've travelled before so that was pretty good. I am getting closer to the 8kM mark in 30 minutes and like Steve K in the USA, I think that exercise is the spawn of the Devil but it appears we must do some to assist with all the other things we do to fight off further attacks of Bladder Cancer. Still 7.4 kilometres is about 4.6 miles and 8 would let me hit the 5 miles in 30 minutes target.
Unlike Steve I do feel a benefit and can actually feel it is doing me some good. For distraction I stick my MP3 player on quite loud and just pound away for 30 minutes. I do a few minutes recovery and then do some light dumbbell work for about 3 or 4 minutes and that does me. After cooling down I check my blood pressure which is always reassuringly low and on a downward slope (which also gives me some satisfaction) and then I have a shower and have something to eat.
I was a bit worried that I'd feel tired or not up to the exercise today but in fact I'm obviously getting stronger and getting further along each time. I wonder when I'll get to the magic 8kM?
