I played racquetball with a co-worker again. Last time, he beat me 5 games in a row with 3 skunk games. Today, we played 6 games and he only skunked me twice. So, I feel a little better. I still suck, only played 3 times now. But I'll keep at it and eventually get okay. We played for an hour.
After racquetball, and realizing today that my first 2013 race (Mini Heart Half Marathon) is only 5 weeks away, I went for a run after I got home. It was so warm out (54 degrees), I was able to go in shorts and a t-shirt. The run went well, as I was kind of day dreaming about doing well at the Mini. I ran 4.72 miles in 46:44, which is an average pace of 9:54m/m, burning 517 calories with an average HR of 161 bpm (max of 189 bpm). This is pretty good for me, especially after an hour of racquetball. I believe this is a new course record, or close to one if not.
I heard a great "motivation" line today, though it's kind of less motivation and more "get off your ass!" The line is: A one hour workout is only 4% of your day. Kind of interesting to view it that way. So, my roughly two hour workout tonight was only 8% of my day. No big deal, right?
Here's a great photo that motivates me to get off my butt.
