Well, I’m feeling a little sore this evening, so I suppose I’m going to feel it more in the morning.  No matter really, because I’m really enjoying it.  I’m doing the Costco run in the morning, so it’s off to bed I go soon.

kiki - it can be very easy to talk yourself into things, especially since daily exercise hasn’t been part of my routine for a long time (and before that, never).  I find the best thing some days is to set the treadmill time and tell myself that it’s okay if I get off earlier.  Almost always I finish up the time I’ve set.  Getting started is sometimes the hardest part.

The morning was 2 x 30-min sessions on the treadmill. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:

Where there is a single number that confirms that I did the number of reps called for. Where there are two numbers the first is the amount of weight I used, followed by reps.

Followed with another 15 mins on the treadmill. Today that last 15 mins was a killer. Part of me just wanted to sit down and die, but the other part of me said that 15 mins on the treadmill wasn’t going to kill me. So I did it. I suspect that this means I’m finally using weights that push me a little, which is good. I also managed to do 6 of the prone jackknife without falling off today. Sadly this doesn’t help me since I need to do 10 the next time the exercise comes up.
