Upping the speed - yikes

Today, warming up for my weight lifting, I ran a (for me) fast mile. I set the treadmill at 1% incline and 6.0mph. I'm glad I didn't plan on more than a mile! Wow. My heart rate got up to 184bpm.

I did the New Rules of Lifting for Women Stage 1 Workout B2 today. I realized I had changed the rep count for workout A too soon on Wednesday. Oh well. Not the end of the world. I'll just stay at that count for 3 weeks total. Today's lifts went well. I was at my limit with the overhead presses. During the second set, I almost got light headed. I added weights overhead to my crunches and that worked a lot better.
