Week 5

post 1:
my calves and feet were sore tonight so i just walked for 30 minutes.

post 2:
my calves and shins were bothering me more tonight so i stopped after 30 minutes. i could have finished, but i wasn't sure if that was the best thing to do or not. i don't know what's up or why this is happening to me again.

what i saw: i got on the treadmill next to a bigger guy that was running at about 7.0. he was panting so hard that i worried he would go into cardiac arrest. it was very disconcerting. mary - you know how hard hazel pants after we throw the ball hard for 15 min? this guy was panting just like that - maybe even harder. and he was pouring sweat. after a few minutes he slowed down to a walk and i thought he was finished. i felt much better because i was really worried about him. but no, he wasn't done. he was doing intervals, much like i do, alternating running with walking. he would go back up to between 6.0 and 7.0 but he kept panting like that. this couldn't have been good for him. i was dying to know what his heart rate was.

Total Time: 65 min

my calves and shins felt better tonight - for whatever reason. maybe two days off helped. the last 10 minutes i was lifting weights i started feeling really wierd - almost light headed. i was sweaty but all of a sudden i was cold. don't know what was up with that but i scaled back a little and got a drink of water. my heart rate was back up tonight during the weight lifting part. i'm sure the low hr the other night was because i didn't get my hr up high enough during the treadmill part.

Total Time: 90 min
