I'm still not completely well, but it's been itching at me for a while, and it's a way to empty my mind out. It takes time away from studying, which is a bad point, though... I went with a friend though they went to the treadmill. I really get awed by people who can run on the treadmill without needing to hold onto the bars. I need to and the few times I've tried letting go, I almost fell off.
( Log )
I was really unfocused on the cross trainer. I went for my usual one mile run, then vascillated between testing my endurance for 3 more miles and trying for another one mile run at the fastest I could. I didn't do either. I don't want to be a time hog on the cross trainer (there are signs around saying to only use the cardio equipment for 30 minutes during peak times) and I know a 3 mile run is likely to take more than 30 minutes. Maybe next time I'll try a 2 mile run for endurance. Pacing is always so hard for me to do.
The machines were good, though. Started them all at the lowest possible weights except for the tricep press and torso rotation and following my log was nice. I'm glad I listened to my body when it was going "Not at your best, Izzy..." and took more time with my sets and bypassed the machines that make my body strain more. I also helped a girl who didn't know how the torso rotation machine worked, and she thanked me after her set. Next time I should be able to bowl better!
It was also peaceful walking back through the snow-filled campus and seeing how high the snow had piled next to the shoveled sidewalks.
