Operation 204 - Chapter 36

I know, another Monday and another update. You can't believe it. I am not sure I can either. I decided that I need to keep up the cardio work that I started last week. Today I did another 65 minutes. However, this time, I remembered to save my results from the elliptical.

Total elapsed time: 65 minutes
Total calories burned: 726
Total distance: 7.32 miles (11.78 km)
Average speed: 6.75 mph (10.86 kph)
Average pace: 8:52 / mile (5:33 / km)
Average heart rate: 149 bpm
Target heart rate: 154 bpm

I know for those of you who workout or run a lot more than I do these numbers are quite sad. But for me, I think they are amazing. I wasn't sure that I could complete another 65 minutes on the elliptical, but I did.

This time, the first 20 minutes were tougher than last week, but I was able to fight through that and the last 40 minutes were a bit easier. The last 5 were really easy as that's my cooldown period so I get to take it easy.

Weigh-in today showed another pound gone. Dropped to 211. I am happy with that, but want to continue dropping.

Also, here's a quick update on Friday's workout. I have been fighting a cold for the last 10 days or so. Friday, as you will remember, we did 30 minutes of abs. It was very hard to cough yesterday during day two stiffness. Coughing hurt! Not sure how I am going to pay Karissa back for that one, but I will find a way!

See you Thursday - had to move my next session up as Christmas comes this weekend.
