Jogging #R+7

[serinde]

Constant time, increased rate. I'm not doing longer than 25 minutes (not counting warmup & cool-down) because all that plus changing time is pushing close to lunch hour limits. So went up to 4.7mph, except for the last four minutes where I went up to 5mph. I wish I could say this was part of a Grand Plan, but it was actually because my MP3 player threw "YYZ" at me, and, well, there you go.

It was pretty hard going up through ~8-10 minute mark, and then was manageable, but I got really red and heated. Not enough for the Help My Brain Is Frying feeling I've gotten in some summer aikido sessions, so I'm not very worried. Still, I'm going to maintain this speed & duration for this week (and maybe next) to see if I get more tolerant of it. SCIENCE!~

I haven't weighed in, coward that I am, after a fairly uncareful weekend. I made chocolate cheesecake brownies, God help me. I did take most of them into work to make everyone else's asses bigger, but I cannot resist licking the bowl. And the beater. And the measuring cups. And ...

Heh. Every so often I'll decide my Shuffle is trying to kill me, when it throws several high-energy songs in a row at me while I'm doing my walk. FTR, my "really brisk walk" pace seems to be about 1.7 m/s (just under 4mph) when such a song is playing. To go any faster I have to break into a run, which is Not Recommended in the hallways of the Physics building. ;)
