Jogging #R+6

In which we keep a constant rate but increase duration, in this case 25 minutes. I was getting overheated, but not tired or breathless, and could have gone longer. (Well, the gym was closing anyways.) I don't know what to do about the overheating thing; the gym is temperate enough, it's just my messed-up coolant system at fault, and I am not clear on whether this is something you can improve. (I pause for [livejournal.com profile] elibalin to attempt to stick CPU fans to my head.)

I am, indeed, pretty sore from yesterday, but not intolerably so.

One of the things that I have noticed about body temperature while exercising is that staying well-hydrated while exercising helps.

Hardcore runners may scoff at the idea that anyone would need to drink water while "only" running 25 minutes, but I say "fuck you" to them. It's fine to drink some water, or to have a handtowel (or paper towel) with you that's damp that you wipe your face with. Even that can be very helpful.

So exciting!
