I have this book I'm supposed to read for school (Empire of the Summer Moon) and do a book report/review by Friday. I also want to work out.
So, I have decide that thanks to the Kindle app on my iPad, I can do both. Then the crazy set in.
As you saw from Monday's post, I went 90 minutes, and somewhere around 7 miles while reading this book. It has been my life all week. At lunch, at home, and now at the gym.
The report is due Friday night at 11:30pm. Well, I have the kids this weekend and that means I have to go and get them. So, I'm not going to be home until almost 11. Not a lot of time to write a report. So, I pretty much had to have the book read tonight. With over 130 pages of a very slow moving book to read, I hopped on my trusty Precor glider/stepper/thingy tonight and away I went.
One hundred and thirty minutes (and ten and a quarter miles) later and I have about 20 pages left that will get read at lunch tomorrow. I will get to write the paper when I get home from work and have it done in time to hand in electronically.
I don't think I've ever worked out that long at a continuous pace... ever. There was always a break of like ten minutes, or something, in there. This was 130 minutes straight. Let's put it this way. I could have watched Empire Strikes Back and still had 6 minutes left after the credits were done. Wait a minute, looks like I know how I'm getting through my workouts from now on.
