Day 11 of 75

Today's stats
Exercise: Treadmill walking
Time: 45 mins
Distance: 2.25 miles
Calories: 359
Heart rate: 144 (avg)/159 (max)

I slowed it back down to 3.0 mph today because there are a lot of little things that hurt.  However, they don't hurt so bad that I couldn't get my workout in, so I wasn't off the hook.  In fact, the movement makes them feel better for a little while.  I went down to the fitness room having given myself permission to only do 30 mins if the pain didn't ease with walking.  But as I warmed up, the aches faded, so 45 mins it was.

This was important for me because I have such a bad habit of pushing too hard whenever I try to start a fitness regime.  I then end up hurt or sick and it all falls to pieces.  Since I'm in this for the long haul, getting hurt or sick would be stupid.

Day 9 of 75

Today's stats
Exercise: Treadmill walking
Time: 45 mins
Distance: 2.4 miles
Calories: 416
Heart rate: 157 (avg)/171 (max)

Pumped up the speed on the treadmill a little from 3.0 mph to 3.2 mph.  It allowed me to get into a bit more of a rhythm while walking.  It felt a little slow at 3.0 mph.

I'm amazed that just doing another 15 mins of walking has caused way more aches.  Ow.
