Day 2: Calibration

Workout @ 1st break
_______________

I ran for 20 mins yesterday (Jan. 23) on the treadmill at a speed of 5.1 units (no idea what the units are) and burned 203 calories. I'm trying something different today - to run at a slower speed for a longer period of time. Running at 5.1 units for the whole 20 mins tired me out to the point where I was struggling with the last few mins. I figure, if I run at a slower speed, my energy level won't deplete so quickly allowing me to run for longer and hence burn more calories.

Workout @ End of shift

I've been using the treadmill for the last 2 days and although the workout was decent, my legs were left really sore. My guess is, that its not so much from running for an extended period of time; but rather from the continuous impact of each step. To solve this, I've decided to switch to the elliptical trainers instead. Its the same workout, but zero impact. We'll see how it goes.
