Day 8 of Hard Reset Strength
-- 20 push-ups | day 2 of
First Thing Push-ups
-- Day 2 of
1-minute Plank
-- 20 calf raises | day 2 of
Impact | with 7 kg dumbbells
Snacks/drinks:
-- peanut butter
-- glucose tablets. I went to donate blood. I always ask for glucose tablets afterwards because my heart pumps out that half of a litre ridiculously fast and I easily get dizzy. This time, however, I didn't manage to avoid the dizziness, so I was ordered to eat like a dozen more tablets on the spot.
-- chocolate wafers I was given at blood donation
-- grapes
The Blood Transfusion Service always has some campaigns going on to encourage people to donate blood. This time one of the gifts I was given was a coupon from the bookstore chain where we buy nearly all of our books that we don't order online. My to-read-pile is huge. Will I further increase the list just to use up this coupon? Absolutely. In the nearest bookstore there's also a lovely cafè, so I can even take my boyfriend with me to have another little book/coffee date there.

This day I was still feeling the aftereffects of the blood donation. According to Garmin, I spent more than 11 minutes in zone 5 during my run. I don't think I ever had any runs this intense HR-wise during my marathon training. The combat workouts in the evening also seemed to get my heart rate higher than usual, and I felt quite tired doing them.
