The weather today was cold, gray, rainy on and off, and at one point it was hailing. So I wasn’t too disappointed not to be out there. Also, instead of picking up where I left off on Season Three of Mad Men, I poked around on my Netflix home page and by golly, I discovered that there were NEW EPISODES OF WEEDS. I have no idea how long those had been waiting for me. I debated whether to continue with Mad Men or start Season Seven of Weeds for all of about five seconds and went for the latter.
During the workout, I got through four and a half episodes of Weeds, two gels, two bottles of Nuun, and according to the console I burned eighteen hundred something calories, though I have no idea where the treadmill comes up with that, I just thought it was a fun factoid to share. I started on a half a percent incline, and about halfway into my seven miles at goal pace segment, I upped it to 1.0% incline because it felt too easy, and kept it at 1.0% for the remainder of the workout. As I hoped, I nailed it. My legs just felt great the whole time and my breathing was under control. I realize it would have been a lot harder outside, but I also know I wouldn’t have been able to do this workout a month or six weeks ago, so I am feeling confident that my fitness is coming around.
What’s the longest/sickest workout you’ve ever done on the treadmill? What do you to pass the time if you are stuck working out indooors?
So proud of you Pam! Very inspirational and motivating. No excuses this week. Exercise everyday for me. Back on track (or treadmill)
Thanks, Mere!!
