Friday Night & The Feelin's RIght

Got to the gym later then I would have liked, but that's what happens when you are half of the "parental responsibility unit".

15 minute swim: shared a lane with several others and watched the water-aerobics class bounce off the bottom, while I worked on my stroke.

Planned on working the bike, then the treadmill, but by the time I got to the room, Ann had already been running for 18 minutes.  I decided to skip the bike and hit the conveyor belt: 5 minute warm up up at 6 to 7mph, then 7 to 7.3 mph for 25 minutes.  heart rate monitor worked well this time (made sure the contacts were recently moistened)

I worked to maintain a rate less then 170bpm.  When it dipped to 168, I sped up.  If I saw 171, I slowed down.  My speeds were as high as 7.3 mph (8.21 min/mile) and as low as 6.9 mph (8.69 min/mile).  According to the treadmill, my average speed for the work out was 6.9.  I felt that I could have kept that pace for another 30 minutes if needed, but the heart rate monitor told a different story...
