Only Me!

Hi blog addicts,

Only me, that is correct, Only me riding the beast. Only me, sweating, panting, pushing myself hard on the beast.

My other sister is at nagging sisters house today, and she is encouraging me from the comfort of the sofa, while she and nagging sister ride the waves of the Internet researching, hot flushes or palpitations or anything else that other sister can use as an excuse for not even trying out the beast. (I think she has finally settled on the fact that she cant get down here every time to use it so no point even having a go), a fact backed up by nagging sister no less!

So here I am being 'supported' and spurred on by my loving sisters. After yesterdays marathon exercises fest I don't feel as energetic. I know in my heart as I look at the minutes ticking away, (only 18 minutes to go of my 20 minute stretch) that I am not going to do as well as I did yesterday. But the determination to reach my target of 147 calories burned up, lost forever in......wherever calories go when they are burned, up is there.

Eyes closed, try to ignore those two sitting, staring at the computer. Just get into the zone listen to the music, its capital radio, the music is pumping!, maybe I should ask for 'Magic', nice mellow tunes. But cant talk, don't want to answer, let me just get this thing over with.

The hill, the first hill, and.....yes......my hand is reaching for the plus button! Next level, oh why oh why did she have to say that. The dots higher, representing Mount Everest's big brother!

Two more hills, to go, other sister now definitely deciding that she doesn't need to go on the beast, seeing my hot sweating face, the cries of pain as I am yelling at the beast, and still other sister and nagging sister nonchalantly saying 'Go old girl, you can do it' vaguely in my direction, over the computer screen

Well, beast conquered, I stayed in the zone, I beat the beasts 147 target, again, ok not as good as yesterday, but still beat it, 156.5 calories lost in calorie heaven! 7.1 km traveled. Yes I am pleased with today's effort.

I mustn't be too hard on nagging sister, apparently she is going to ride the beast later with Vic.2, after Vic.2 hands over half a dozen kids back to their owners.

But I can still be hard on other sister!! Not even put a foot on it. I think nagging sister should force her on later with Vic.2 is here.
