4/9/07 Gym Report

Today I did two miles on the treadmill - half a mile walking, half a mile running, another half mile walking, and a final half mile running. I felt surprisingly good afterwards - running indoors (and on a treadmill) is not quite the same as running outdoors, of course, but I thought it was pretty good distance not to feel totally winded. Of course, I tried to run on the track a week and a half back and wore down pretty quickly. The difference may be that when I'm running on my own, I might go faster than I should because I'm not really aware of my speed. I did about 5.5 mph on the treadmill and it worked pretty well.

I did a handful of weight machines on the floor below after the run, as well.

Weight on the gym scale after I got out of the shower: 193. Lower than it's been for a while, it seems to me. I've been eating generally lighter - not much snacking, smaller meals - so I'm sure that's been helping too, but that plus the gym can hopefully push the number ever lower. I haven't been under 180 in five years, so that's a goal on the horizon.
