Workout Journal Notes

Saturday is usually speed camp day, and I knew it was supposed to be really cold.

Last night, I thought it may be kind of fun to get out there in even more extreme temperatures than usual…

Then, I woke up this morning, looked at the digital thermometer, and saw a SINGLE DIGIT for the first time that I can remember — 6 to be exact, not that it matters once you go below 10!

I’m all for cowboy’ing up, but the reward didn’t seem to outweigh the risk in this case.

The 20’s would have been exciting and different, then teen’s would have been brutal, but SIX degrees is just asking for trouble!

I’ll be interested when I talk to Paul to see if anyone showed up. He never called or emailed to cancel, so I’m assuming that at least a few brave (aka insane) souls showed up.

So, I went with good ol’ old-school low-intensity cardio. I know it’s become the red-headed step-child of exercise since the HIIT revolution, and I even prefer HIIT myself most of the time, but I think the boring slowdio still has its place every once in a while.

Tomorrow is measurement day, and I’m really excited to see where things have gone since the big Binge-a-thon that started the New Year!
