So this morning we rolled out of bed and made it to the gym by 6:45am. I got on the elliptical and exercised at level 5 for 30 minutes. At the end my heart rate was only 135. That is not good enough. I need to notch it up a level now to like 6 or 7 because I am not getting my heart rate up enough.
However……..since I had planned to do 45 minutes of cardio today, I decided to jump on the treadmill. I really wasn’t that tired from the elliptical so I pumped up the treadmill to 4.5 (I usually run at 5.0). I decided I would just run as long as I could and then walk. Well, I only planned to do the treadmill for 15 minutes and I ran the whole time! I am super excited. This is really good for me because I hate running the whole time, I usually want to only do intervals, but since I notched it down to 4.5 I was able to run the entire 15 minutes. I will do this in spurts and see how it works for me. It felt awesome to get my heart rate up finally, I really could have gone longer, but I didn’t want to push it. I was wearing my old exercise shoes because I couldn’t wear my new ones. On Saturday I got a huge blister from snowshoeing and my new shoes touched it, whereas my old shoes do not.
Anyway, just thought I’d share the exciting news.
