APRIL 15th, Sunday
Update – So after 4 days of unprecedented hard work, I decided to take a day off on Friday. Also the weather turned very spring like on Friday which was lovely. Saturday turned into a summer like day with the temperature reaching almost 85 degrees. Both days Arlene and I did a comfortable walk. I planned on doing a run late Saturday when things cooled off, but we wound up going to dinner with Kristen, an opportunity that we could not pass up. During the course of a 45-minute dinner the temperature outside dropped nearly 30 degrees, something I have never seen before. That led me to vow to get up early Sunday and do a solid run. However, Sunday morning turned into a blustery, cold and rainy, crappy day. Doing an indoor workout at our clubhouse became the only viable option.
Workout – 75 minutes in motion …… 1/3 on bike, 1/3 on elliptical, 1/3 on treadmill I made a concerted effort to get the most out of each machine. I am becoming impressed with my ability to do a workout like 75 minutes in motion without feeling totally used up. I hope that indicates that my fitness level has improved.
I think I made a wise choice in deciding to take a day of rest that actually turned into 2 days of rest because my morning heart rate was recording somewhere in the low 60s. That number is 8/10 beats higher than my morning rate has regularly been for the last few years. I take that as an indication that I needed some recovery time. By Saturday evening my heart rate was back to 54 beats per minute! Even though I approached today’s workout with some trepidation. But I am happy to report that I feel as though my body responded quite well and I got a good days work.
