Wow, to say today’s workout was MUCH harder than the last two would be an understatement. Nothing changed in terms of the exercise (60 running/90 walking intervals), but the circumstances changed:
- Outdoors vs. gym
- Concrete doesn’t flex like the treadmill’s platform
- Cold
- Heavy warm clothing vs. gym shorts & t-shirt
- Still sore from tearing up carpet yesterday
- Slight incline/decline vs. no incline treadmill
I was supposed to do this workout yesterday, but I was simply too exhausted from the cleaning/carpet work. So, I delayed it until today as I’m not supposed to start week 2 until Sunday. This was the first workout since my surgery where I have found myself cursing the iPhone for telling me it was time to run again and then pleading for the time to end. All that said, I did do the full routine and will continue on Sunday with next week’s ramped up intervals. I do hope this gets easier, but I’m sticking with it…
It’s always good to see others progress details on their weight loss challenge. Seems you are dedicated and makes me want to do more exercising. You have my vote of confidence. Keep it up! I will check back to see how things are going for you in the near future. hahaha on the iphone reminder making you crazy.
