Monday, Oct. 15th:

45 minute spin class at the Upstate gym with the instructor who pushes us hard at pretty heavy resistance. I learned that one of my former classmates is training to be a spin instructor! It's giving her something to focus on while her divorce winds down.

Oct. 14: two 40 min dog walks (2.25mi each), 50 min swim (~1 mi)

Tuesday, Oct. 16th:

15 minutes Stairmaster stepmill, aerobic intervals, resistance at eight
60 minutes shoulders, chest and triceps routine, missing the 12.5 and 17.5 pound dumbbells at my home gym, as I've become used to them and find the lesser weights a bit too light but the heavier ones a bit too heavy. Probably I do too many reps, at 17 reps, though often with a break after anything from eight to 12.

60 minute spin class with weight intervals, back at my home gym. Yes, that's two gyms in one day.

Tuesday, 10/16:
-20 minutes upper body weights. Took a break from back stuff because I noticed it was hurting the other day. Shoulder press w/20# DB getting easier!
-6 minutes on stair stepper

10/16/12

7.5 miles outside
5.5 miles inside

so far so good this week!

Oct. 16: two 40 min dog walks (2.25mi each), spin class

I got my replacement fitbit finally so I am back to collecting data. It really does help me push myself!

October 14: came down with some sort of bug so no exercise.

October 15: not 100% but much better: 90 minutes Bikram Yoga

45 minute spin class, and I am unstoppable, feeling good during & afterward, though it is really hard work. I don't understand these intervals in my training when it actually becomes exhilarating, but I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts, since it will be like a sentence of hard labor again soon.
