Not Exercise

15 minutes on the treadmill, barefoot; second day in a row.  Remembered to bring a little water to stave off the thirst.  That was smart.  So was turning on the music.

But when I asked myself Why are you doing this? and the answer was (in part) To get better sleep, I felt a touch of irony.

Treadmill says I burned 177 calories.

1.01 miles; pace was 4.04 mi/hr.

15 minutes on the treadmill, barefoot.  I could feel it had been a while, but mostly because I got thirsty quickly.  Looking forward to this being “no problem” again.  Also: let’s hope I can maintain the willpower to get up a little earlier than usual to fit in that run.

Treadmill says I burned 175 calories.

1 mile; pace was 4 mi/hr.

≈2 hours at the gym.  First time since 10/27.  Managed to actually hold out and do halfway decent in that 2 hours.  Even managed to jam through an Eli 5.11 route—which is tough for me even on a good night.  (Of course, then an Eli 5.9 kicked my ass right after that…)

Yesterday: 90 minutes of raking and hauling leaves.  Today: 90 more minutes of raking and hauling leaves.  Then took off for the climbing gym, only to arrive just as they were closing.

Another day!

It was an active weekend. Busy. Running around about. But no running. Just a long walk in the woods (Haunted Forest) and Trick-or-Treating and running up and down the stairs to service Trick-or-Treaters.

But no “exercise”, per se.

And now NaNoWriMo is upon us. Writing first, running later—at least for November.
