Week Recap

Monday:
I was really tired on Monday. I woke up at 7am to get my posters at Staples at 8am. Various obligations throughout the day I didn't make it to the gym until 7:30pm. Here's what I managed:
- 30min elliptical
- 20min bike

Tuesday:
Beginning of 'recovery' week for my running program. I was scheduled run 4mins, walk 1 min and repeat 6 times. I managed to stick to this routine and felt great after the run. It took 40mins. I finished up the cardio on the bike and did some strength training.
- 4.6km treadmill
- 10min elliptical
- 10min bike
- Leg/torso weights

Thursday:
Second run of the week went smoothly. Run 2mins, walk 1min and repeat 10 times. This was great with all the walking. I uped the speed on the treadmill to 5.0mph instead of the 4.4-4.8mph that I usually do. I completed the same distance as tuesday's run in the same amount of time, even with all the walking!
- 4.6km treadmill
- 10min wave
- 10min bike
- Leg/torso weights

Friday:
The elliptical is very boring. I feel like a hamster on it's wheel. The gym was busy so I was on the elliptical facing the pool instead of the tvs. The pool is not overly entertaining. The strength training for arms is going pretty well.
- 30min elliptical
- 10min wave
- 10min bike
- 10min row machine
- Arms/torso weights

Saturday:
Long slow run today. There was a really chatty lady on the treadmill beside me. It's hard to keep a conversation while running. Luckily as part of recovery week, I was to run 2 mins and walk 1 min. I told her all about Team Diabetes and school and such. Apparently her daughter has 2 master's degrees and is now in med school - see there are people who like school more than me! I also had a nice conversation with a guy during strength training. I think I'm becoming one of the regulars!
- 6.5km treadmill
- Leg/torso weights
