Mandy's meanderings!

Had to take a break due to a second round of strep last week.  Figured I should let my body fully recover before trying to get back into the exercise thing again.

Decided to do some jogging today and it felt good.  It's been really hard not pushing myself too hard too early because I feel great doing something.  I know I need to do it slowly though.  Did a .25 mile warm-up, jogged 1.25 miles at 5.6 mph, walked .5 miles at 4.8 mph, jogged another .5 mile at 5.7 mph, then did a cool down.  Total time was 32:00.

The head cold has descended to our house-everyone but paige and me is sick.  Did the same jaunt as Monday, but added one more walking lap.  Total time was 34:15.

Tried a new workout today.  Did the weight loss workout on my treadmill for 30 minutes.  It had a speed range of 4.7 to 5.7 mph for most of it and an incline range of 1-5.  The hardest part for me was when it was on 5.2 mph and an incline of 4.  Without an incline that's my speed walk, but the incline just about killed my chins, calves, and feet.
