Running on Empty

11 equivalent on the elliptical.  I am trying to practice what I preach and make sure I have recuperated before going hard again.  

One hour strike class.

3 arc trainer.

Finished with one mile at 5:55 on the treadmill.

(Count the people in the picture below. After they shift, count them again. One moment someone is there, the next gone, but back again.)

1 at 6:25.

One hour barbell strength class.

1 at 8, .5 at 5:20 (-3% decline).  1 arc equivalent cooldown.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color – pink. If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you’re lucky! There really is no green dot and the pink dots don't really all disappear at the same time.

8.5 at 8:00, random incline to 1.5%.

 Another few illusions:

Now, in the picture below, simply concentrate on the center black dot, until both of the blue rectangles disappear
