  • Thursday, August 16:
    -3 mile walk with my mom through neighborhood and a nearby cemetery

    Friday, August 17:
    -"SPRINT 8" intervals program on elliptical, level 7/10, tired me out!
  • Saturday, August 18th:

    Nothing. But I walked around a field looking in the booths of antique dealers from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with only one short period of sitting down.

    Since I got home when it was still light, I'm still consumed with guilt that I didn't go out running afterward.

    20 minutes Stairmaster stepmill, aerobic intervals, resistance at eight
    60 minutes shoulders, biceps and triceps routine
    40 minutes Cybex arc trainer, one-minute intervals, up to eight
  • Saturday, August 18:
    -Ran about 5K with my boyfriend in a park in a little under half an hour.

    -Upper body lifting routine. Increased weights and surprised myself.
    -12 minutes Stair stepper, level 11/12 "hills" program.
    -10 minutes rowing on ERG machine.
    -10 minutes incline intervals on elliptical, levels 4 and 10.

  • Monday, Aug. 20th:

    45 minute spin class, my last one at the Upstate gym till my next time in town. As usual, the instructor did tabatas and made me sweat.

    -12 minutes of running intervals, 6, 7 and 8 mph.

  • Tuesday, Aug. 21st:

    15 minutes elliptical, intervals, backward, resistance at six and 11
    60 minutes chest, shoulders and triceps
    60 minute endurance spin, with a weight interval, just five pound weights but oh, my, the endless repetitions kill me after the earlier upper-body workout that day. But for some women, this is the only upper-body work they do.

  • Weds, Aug. 22:

    45 minute spin class to start my day, and boy did those weight intervals set my arms a-trembling, coming on top of yesterday's work

    But it's worth it to get my workout in at 6 AM and to clear the evening for ... whatever.
  • Tuesday, August 21:
    -4 mile run in 37:55 with my dude. Very tiring and I was underfueled.

  • Thursday, Aug. 23

    45 minutes on the Stairmaster step mill, aerobic intervals, resistance at eight, leaving the steps wet with generous splashes of sweat.
    60 minutes Pilates routine, back at the gym again in the evening.
  • Friday, August 24:
    -13 min of sprint intervals on treadmill
    -5 min of "sprints" on stair stepper

    Not much time, wanted to make it count. Feel guilty for not doing weights but I was feeling weak.
  • Friday, Aug. 24th:

    20 minutes Cybex arc trainer, intervals, resistance at six and 10
    60 minutes back & biceps routine
    40 minutes back on the Cybex, same resistance setting, with some wacky TV show on in which hot teenagers turn into demons and mermaids & then turn back. It's interesting to see bad & improbable TV with the sound entirely off.
