I was just in the middle of my skips around the 500 mark and the doorbell rang. It was the postman wanting to know if Hubbilicious lived here. (It is his birthday tomorrow and so a parcel is not unexpected.) I answered yes and clicked on the autolock to let him in. But I didn't hear the door open and he didn't ring again. After a very long pause, nothing, I looked out into the hallway, nothing... meanwhile I was getting peeved that my skips were being interrupted.
Bewildered, I scooped up the baby and walked up to the front entrance of the building and there was nobody there. I went to the mailbox and there was a letter marked "Private and Confidential" not registered post or a parcel, just a normal windowed envelope.
Could that have been it? A diligent postman?
I went back to my skips seething that I had lost my flow. I did an extra 100 skips but not the 500 odd that I had under my belt already.
I have stopped counting my skips in my head and just let the counter do it thang. I find it better to focus on something on the wall and zone out. Still tripping lots but not stopping. Just starting up again immediately. Have tried other skipping techniques but trip even more.
Really pleased that I have made it through my first four weeks. Looking forward to what adventures await us in week 5.
Good news with the jumprope. You'll find the trips become less and less frequent and your stamina will grow by leaps and bounds.
