Day 435 | Running + Yoga + Reps

---

I started a challenge of taking 100 days off to mainly focus on my health and overall personal development and used this account as a personal blog. I enjoyed it and continued afterward trying to build better habits and find a good balance between health, work and my personal life...

I did pretty much everything I set out to do for 30 days on Saturday. The good thing is that I believe it will be achievable, the bad thing is that it will be a real challenge as I already experience a lot of muscle stiffness when I woke up after sleeping extra long on Sunday.

Day 2 of the month and my muscle stiffness in my upper body is really present. If anything, I really underestimated the amount of reps especially on the push-ups and the pull-ups. The running is fine and I can easily combine that with a hot yoga session. I'm also able to stay free of injury aside from the normal pain in my arms, shoulder and abs. I once read that this kind of pain is the 'weakness leaving the body' and I kind of like that idea.

I did a run quite late in the moring when the sun was already up to a outdoor workout center where I did some of the first reps of the day walking back to my place afterward. The distance is nice and I can easily add a bit to it as days go by. a 20 minute 3km run 6 times each week would be nice. The hot yoga at 17:00 went a lot better compared to yesterday but I did really feel the stiffness in my arms.

The reps continue to be the hardest part and I will have to organize myself a bit better spreading them over the day more. I took a recovery smoothie when I got back from the yoga and won't be doing reps just before going to bed as I want to have some more recovery time each day. I will do what I can without slacking and if I don't make the goal like yesterday so be it.

I went to bed very early as I was quite tired and want to give my body the maximum recovery. I also want to get my moring run a bit sooner before the sun is out.

With all the activity I have pretty much little to no time to distract myself. I'm making sure I eat enough protein and spend some time in the kitchen. Keeping up this daily checklist is by far the easyest so far.
