Like "Beware of what you wish for cause you might get it!," "Perfect is the Enemy of Good" is one of my favorite and most-used cliches. I think it was true for me today.
Last night, Jenny and Margie and I walked up the 500 steps to the top of Mt. Adams. I was encouraged because a few years ago when we took an 11-mile backpacking trip in the Hocking Hills, I couldn't keep up with Margie and she was always having to wait for me. But last night, it seemed like she couldn't keep up with me. And I was keeping pretty good pace with Jenny, who works out all the time and who I consider in way better shape than me.
So, the not-so-perfect parts were that we went for a cheeseburger and a beer after the hike:) And I just couldn't get going this morning and missed working out on the treadmill and my regular weekly walk.
Still, I did make it to the gym an hour before they closed and got three and a half 10 minute sets in at 15 degrees and 2 mph. Heart rate stayed below 150 the whole time, which seems better than earlier this week.
And I can go twice tomorrow, so I plan to do my first hour at 3 mph and 10 degrees and then hit the 15 degree sets later in the day.
Now for a nice juicy steak and some spinach; yum!
