Today, I started off with a mile on the treadmill. This time, after a short warm-up walk, I played with the speed by doing some increasing intervals. I started at 5.5mph, then did some at 6.0, then 5.7, then 6.2, then 5.9... etc . Or something very similar. I'm not sure about the exact number I used, but the pattern was up 0.5mph, down 0.3mph. That had me finishing the last 0.2 miles at 6.5mph! Finished the mile at 1% incline in 10:10min. I like that was of inching up to the higher speed. I might have to try that again!
Weights were 2A1 today from NRoLfW. It went well. The squat presses were hard, but I knew they would be. I did do it fine with the Olympic bar. For 8 reps of the second set, I added 5#, but removed it for the last 2. I did push-ups on the bench, but didn't get down quite as far as I wanted, so I may move back to the Smith machine. Static lunges were hard after the previous exercises. I used a 65# dumbbell on the floor instead of a step. I actually finished the 60sec planks fine. Woo hoo!
