Forgot my headband as I left for the gym. Disaster. Spent an hour broadcasting sweat in a 1 ft radius around the machine--fortunately I was on the end and it was pretty empty, but too bad for the portly, middle-aged woman who sat down to my left at about minute 45. With a Baywatch rerun blaring above us, she drowned. Was able to jam through two Italian lessons (signorina! vorrebbe mangiare qualcosa da me?), at which rate I figure I can pick up two or three languages and maybe an Italian exchange student by the time the foot's completely healed.
Fairly low-stress workout. Resistance 6, started out at 170 s/m with HR around 135, crept upward (dehydration?) to the 150s, at which point I would ease up. By "mile 5.5" was somewhere around 150 s/m and 150 bpm. Took the last "600 meters" at 200 s/m which boosted HR to 184. After Friday's death march (above 179 for 7 minutes) felt relatively little stress. Didn't push it in the interests of getting actual work done this morning, but hopefully this signals improvement in my fitness.
Heel pretty sore this AM until stretching, at which point it was fine. I think that's because for once I didn't sleep with the sock.
Sleep: 1 AM- 7.
Food: 8:00 - whole milk yogurt, whey protein, granola. 2:00 - fish in soya and ginger, 2 bananas, large garden salad in O&V. 4:00 - 3 bananas and peanut butter, rice. 8:00 - rice, 1/2 watermelon, 2 bananas, 8 oz cherries. Got a little squirrely around 4:00 or so.
