For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.
It is currently raining here in Duluth with 27 mph winds. So, that means despite the rain, the house is dry. As a result, my sinuses are pissed, i.e., causing a headache. And yet I will have to go out into this weather and clear the slush off the driveway before tomorrow’s freeze.
It was one month ago today I last did any exercise. I finally stepped onto the treadmill today and did 20 minutes at 5 mph. My heart rate shows I lost conditioning. I didn’t exceed my max heart rate, but I passed aerobic well before 10 minutes of running and spent 14 minutes in the anaerobic range. It looks like I’ll be easing back into rigorous exercising.
Oh, and there will be no statistics today. I’ve got to get ready for work.
It’s starting to damage my calm.
Weird is the new cool.
That is all.
Yeah, it’s been a while since I elucidated about my ongoing education. I have a critique paper due tonight for my Family Social Science class. I selected my study and read through it last night. Now I just have to write the essay itself. I also had a chapter to read in the text for the class. And a study on ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences). I have gotten through both of them and did my discussion and response post. Writing the paper will be no problem.
Nothing of import to pass on to my faithful readers. I’m just saying good morning. Oh, and finishing up my morning coffee. I guess that’s important.
If it’s not, what are you doing at my blog? Seriously. If coffee is not important to you don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Well, if blogs had doors.
And if you don’t have an ass – that’s just disconcerting.
Actually, I’ve not got much to say. Mostly just finishing up my second cup of coffee. Then I’m off to Miller Hill Mall to drop of Tina for work. Oh, and I’m going for a spot of exercise at the Essentia Fitness Center.
You all best behave while I am out and about. No need to be bringing Western Civilization as we know it to an end.
It has dawned on me that only night people complain about switching back to Standard Daylight Time. Us morning people like having the sunrise shortly after we awake.
I am also aware that only morning people will read this as the dreaded night people are sleeping at the moment. Thankfully. The last thing us cheerful morning people need are cranky, ornery, night people spoiling a perfectly good sunrise with complaining.
Now, if you all will excuse me, I’m going to enjoy my morning coffee and await the sunrise.
So, the above slideshow has the heart rate stats for both the run on Friday and today’s run. There is also a mile by mile chart of speed, heart rate, and elevation for today. On Friday I was up at the Miller Hill Mall/Essentia Fitness Center. I did upper body weight (arms) work and then hit a treadmill. Today I did an outdoor run.
Today’s run was a long one. I managed to cover 7.6 miles in 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 30 seconds. I averaged 11 minutes and 15 seconds per mile.
