Oh dear lord. That's all I have to say about today.
Honestly, it wasn't too terribly bad - just that my face was beet red after I was done today - even after my two walking laps around the Y. I just hate that my face gets so red. I do like the downtown Y though a little better than the West Suburban one. Less chance of running into families from school.
On the plus side, I ended up getting new shoes, so my feet aren't as sore as they have been, and my legs too. I guess absorbing the impact is always a good thing.
What did me in today was the second 3 minute stretch. Here's how the workout went:
5:00 walk - awesome! No problem!
:90 run - awesome! Look at me! I'm running!
:90 walk - still no problem!
3:00 run - okay, gotta ramp up for this. I can do it!
3:00 walk - thank god, I can walk.
:90 run - I can do this... this isn't too bad.
:90 walk - okay, I know I have 3 more minutes to run.
3:00 run - oh dear lord, I'm going to pass out. Is that sweat running under my glasses?
3:00 walk - thank the lord, I can walk and catch my breath.
Total time today on the treadmill: 23 minutes, and 1.6 miles.
Which is ultimately less than last week, but didn't seem like it.
I know I'm off on the time / mileage though, because I was not doing the math correctly in my head and started the treadmill over half way through, then I dropped my iPod about a minute in of walking (oops), and had to start that over again too. So Thursday will have the correct stats.
Not that I can tell I've lost any weight (or that the scale tells me any differently - but that's another entry for another day), but my work out pants are actually feeling a little big on me. That's a good feeling to have.
Other stats:
20 minutes crossramp on a "performance" preset: up to 13 incline, and 1.36 miles.
No weights today - too red in the face. :)
