Tried out the TMs tonight at the athletic club. The TMs were fine. The lack of ventilation around them wasn't. There was one fan in front of one TM (occupied, as was the one next to it). I was at the other end, sweating like a cochon, until the ventilated TM came open. That was five miles into my run. So I moved down for the final two miles. I had already determined the legs were too sore for the originally planned 12 miler. So I just kept a steady pace, on both TMs, until I completed the 7 in about 62 minutes. Probably now will run 10, maybe 11, tomorrow night on the old familiar TM at the fitness room. Also took the spousal unit over for her first workout at the club. She did 7 minutes on the bike (about all her post-surgical knee could handle after months of inactivity since she finished PT), then we went downstairs and did mostly lower-body strength stuff on the machines -- leg curl, leg extension, abductors, adductors. Then she went home and I went to find a treadmill. |
