Tonight I hit the treadmill. I wanted to get some weights lifted as well as get some miles in so the gym seemed like the easiest place to accomplish that. The weather outside looked simply ideal while I was driving to the gym. The treadmill felt pretty good though it helped me set a pretty quick pace which is nice for me. When I try to pace myself outside I usually run to fast and burnout. It helps me to feel what my limits are when I do it on the treadmill. Hopefully I can start to translate those speeds to the out of doors before too long. The weight lifting was really good, I am focusing on higher reps and lowering the weight to about 80% of my 1 rep max. I usually lift pretty heavy but and trying to drop some weight, hence the higher reps and limited rest between sets.
