Exercise: - What : slow walk
- Time: 37 minutes
- Distance: 1.6 miles
- Minutes/mile: 23
All day I was debating about what kind of exercise to do tonight. I was feeling pretty crummy, either from my workout yesterday or from AFs visit. I took a 15 minute stroll around the grounds at lunch time, thinking it might be cooler down by the water, but I just ended up getting very sweaty and having BO the rest of the day. How do people exercise at lunch time without showering? Or walk to the subway in the morning for that matter? I get BO just looking at the humidity. Anyway, decided to put off formal exercise until 7 and ran to the grocery store after dinner. Turns out Mike wasn't feeling well after his run yesterday (we worked out separately) so we decided just to do the 1.6 mile loop slowly for a recovery day. I am trying to hold back on my temptation to run to the track every day and see if I can take 1 sec off my average time, but in reality, I should have hard and easy days and not stress myself every single day. i am so into following the numbers, though, anxious to see what will work to improve my lap time. Next time I walk intervals, I am going to try to shorten my "slow" walk time and see if that helps without tiring me out.
