Practice #41 - The Run

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,240 So I went to the gym and I started, and lately I've just been going to the gym for leg days 2 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,440 because I like working out outside doing calisthenics. 3 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:32,640 I'm at the gym hitting legs and I'm squatting and after the fact I feel out of breath. 4 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,560 And it reminds me to, it reminded me to a couple months ago how I stopped doing cardio 5 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:45,280 for a while and I felt really out of breath after every single leg workout. 6 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,440 And then I decided that I hated that feeling. 7 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280 I just didn't like not being in shape. 8 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,040 I didn't like being out of shape. 9 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,200 And so I started doing cardio again and I started going on runs. 10 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:06,640 And then just the other day I found myself hitting legs at the gym feeling that hint 11 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,120 of being out of shape again. 12 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,760 And it was because I stopped doing cardio for a week. 13 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,520 I had my excuses but there were nothing but excuses. 14 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,520 So I stopped doing cardio for a week and as a result I started to feel a little bit out 15 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,000 of shape. 16 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,160 And at that point I'm like, I gotta start doing cardio again. 17 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:39,440 And then I go on a walk, my normal walk after breakfast and I'm thinking to myself, right 18 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,880 away after this walk I'm gonna put my running gear on and go on a run. 19 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,880 What did I do? 20 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920 I didn't do that. 21 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,440 I decided to take a nap. 22 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:59,760 And if you listened to yesterday's episode that was the day that I took a nap and got 23 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,520 woken up from the nap because my mom saw a cardinal. 24 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:13,120 So I 25 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,800 But I take a nap and then I eat lunch and I'm just sitting there on the couch after having 26 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,160 eaten lunch and I'm thinking this is the trap. 27 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,280 This is the trap of not having that positive feedback loop set in place to do cardio. 28 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,440 And now you have to use discipline to actually get up and do the cardio. 29 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,080 This is the trap that people are in. 30 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,120 And I immediately recognized it and I thought to myself, no I'm better than this. 31 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Like I do not belong in this trap. 32 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,440 So I just said put your running gear on and I started going on a run. 33 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,880 And while I was in that run, halfway through I was like, I kinda wanna cut it short. 34 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,840 And I'm like, no, I'm here for a run so I'm gonna run. 35 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,600 So I run and I do my full cardio workout. 36 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,320 And that was a really good thing for me because now I'm back on to doing cardio. 37 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,080 And it's a really cool vibe running out in the winter time, especially when it's sunny 38 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,600 out, which it was yesterday. 39 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,480 If you ever have that opportunity, go out on a run during the winter time when it's sunny 40 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,480 out. 41 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Especially when there's snow on the ground.
