Failed again on morning workout, it's hard to do a late night lifting and get up early. This is a must goal for me in this challenge and hope that through this Thanksgiving holiday weekend I can get on track.
Tonights cardio... boy did I feel it. Due to my foot acting up I had laid off of running, but went back to it tonight. I started conservative, but by the end of the second interval I was struggling! I lowered my expectations for the third interval and peaked with a 5.5 mph run, but when I went to start the fourth interval I began to gag and dry heave... just what I wanted to feel, knowing I did give it my all. Rather than make a fool of myself and make others sick, yes, there were others working out this late, I decided to flip to a 3.0 mph walk using inclines for the increasing intensities. I had to walk at no incline to get myself back together, then went to level 4, 8, 12, and then 15(max). Heart rate went up satisfactory and then I finished off with a level 4 incline. I then cooled off for an additional five minutes at a walk. My guess is I will be back at full speed in a few weeks. Never give up, just adjust your intensities!
