65/100 -

Felt a bit low yesterday, but thankfully my friends gave me lots of support and I could kind of put things into perspective a bit. Regardless, I didn't sleep too well. I have a specific job I need to get done today, and thought I would fit a gym session in, but I'll be honest, my head's not in the game. Had the weather been better, I would have gone for a walk, so instead I decided I would go for a walk on the treadmill at the gym. As long as I kept my pace brisk and steady, for half an hour or so, I'd be happy - but I thought I'd try to get some work into it, so while doing my warm-up, I hatched a plan for the treadmill. I did 30 minutes brisk walk (steady pace 6 km/hr), which meant 3km. I started at 0.0% incline, then every 1 minute knocked the incline up by 0.5%, up to 14.5%. As it got steeper and steeper, I wanted to slow down, but kept myself going at the 6km/hr pace. I made sure I kept my hands off the treadmill (I never understand folk who walk on the treadmill on a steep incline, holding tight on...) and I have to say, for a 30 minute walk, I really got a nice wee workout done! Granted I then should have moved on to a different machine, etc, but that wasn't today's intention. Today was just to keep things ticking over.....
