Routine change

I’m back after a brief hiatus. No, I hadn’t gone off anyplace. But you know how it is. There are times when ennui gets the better of you. And then there are others when you’re trying your darndest best to change the schedule. It was a bit of both for me.

From beginning to put in those long walks and cycling bursts in the evenings, have been at work to change the clock to work out in the morning. Because when done in the evening, there’s an adrenaline rush. And the night gets nighter (I mean, getting to sleep takes longer). Because you got that extra ounce of energy pounding through the body.

So, today, I finally managed to push myself out in the morning without any chai. Halleluiah!

The original plan was to do a 3k brisk walk and a 3k on the bicycle. But ended up doing a 5k walk in 70. Just didn’t want to break the tempo after the 3k mark and wanted to amp the pace up. The other day, I attempted a sub-60-minute 5k. That was fun. But overshot by 1 minute. Have to remind myself that I ought to cut myself some slack days such as these because I’m on a work call as well when working out.

Got back and put in a large glass of lassi, a lovely omlette, bread and half a mug of tea. Satiated. Have been at work since. Must make a habit out of this.
