Sept 5 Exercise Report - What did you do today?

So far nothing but I will try to get to the Y tonight for a little treadmill action and some weights.  Tomorrow I am going to try for a sub 50 minute 5K in preparartion for my 5K walk on the 20th.

I got in 8 minutes on the elliptical. It wasn't that awful and I think I might add a minute this weekend.

No pain no gain.

An hour at the gym - bike, eliptical, rowing machine and weights. I feel great! (and a little sore)

This morning 20 minutes on the ellipicak(5 minutes rest a minute then 2 minutes rest a minute then alternating 1 min rest 1 min work for the reminder of 20 min). This afternoon 20 minutes on the treadmill and did an 18 min 10 second mile. My personal best. Was doing 22 minute mile before my surgery on August 4

I was a little overambitious today (or more accurately very underprepared).  I went out for a bike ride midday.  It was hot and sunny.  I don't have a water bottle holder on my bike, because I've never needed one, since I don't generally go very far.  But today I was going farther out than I've attempted and I really thought the park that was the turn-around point had a water fountain.  Nooooope.  It took me an hour to get there, and two hours to get home because I had to stop about 10 times.  At one point a very nice cyclist realized I was in bad shape and offered me his water, for which I was grateful.  I also managed to find a couple spots that had water fountains, but at that point the damage was done.  I really thought I would pass out at a couple of points.  

I feel ok now and I've had plenty of water since I managed to drag myself home, but this was a big lesson learned.  Hydration is key!!
