Totals:
6 workouts
590 minutes

Monday, January 6th:

30 minutes running on treadmill, incline 1.5, turned up the speed to 4.7, had as much trouble getting a decent rhythm as if I'd never done this before
5 minutes walking 3.5
10 more minutes running at 4.7
5 minutes walking again, and done.

Each time I get on the treadmill, it's like I've forgotten how to run, probably because I am increasing the speed. Probably I should just leave it alone.

Tuesday, January 7th:

60 minutes shoulders, chest & triceps
30 minutes StairMaster. Had to delay doing it till one-quarter of the way into my routine because someone was on the machine. That's unusual in this gym, and I started using this machine partly because it was often empty when other equipment was taken.

Feeling better today while lifting and bench-pressing. Okay, so the scale weight is higher. But look, now I can bang out 20 consecutive perfect-form pushups without a problem, when at this time last year, I was glad to get in five.

Wednesday, Jan. 8th:

45 minute spin class, a tough one, or so I thought, and felt I was letting myself down -- and then a woman new to the class came up to me afterward and said, "You are AMAZING. You move your legs so fast. I was trying to keep up with you and there is no way!" So probably I was hard on myself.

Anyway that took away the doctor's sting.

Thursday, January 9th:

30 minutes treadmill running, 2.0 incline, 4.7 mph,
then alternating 5 minutes walking at 3.7 with 5 minutes running at 5 mph, 4.8 mph, 5 mph

I'm not sure I'm making progress with running, but I'm determined to keep doing this.

60 minute Pilates mat class, the instructor unusually sadistic, maybe to impress new members

That's awesome Saef!!!!

A woman at yoga last night complimented me on my figure. I think her figure is WAY better than mine and she is definitely older than me. I guess it all depends on what we're looking for-- she is smaller than me but maybe she wishes she had more muscles?
