Out of Shape :(

After working all day and getting close to 15,000 steps on my Fitbit, I reluctantly got on the treadmill after eating supper.  In the past I have been able to reach speeds of 3.8 mph for 1.5 hrs but not tonight.  I started off at 3.2 mph and it wasn’t long before I realized I couldn’t keep up the pace.  I reduced the speed to 2.8 mph and tried to keep up for 30 minutes.  That was all I could do tonight.  I know it’s a start and I’ve gotta start somewhere  but I had no idea I was that out of shape.  I guess I’ll see how my feet do tomorrow.  Right now they’re a little sore but the true test comes the next day.

Thanks everyone for your kind words of support on my last post.  They are appreciated.

With the threat of rain I chose not to ride this evening.  It’s supposed to rain all week here in the deep south.  I’m trying to do some sort of exercise six days a week with one rest day.  So far it seems to be working out for me.  With the weather like it is I’m spending a lot of time on the treadmill.  If it’s pretty out I’ll hop on my bicycle and ride for a couple of hours.

This Saturday is the Old Howard, (http://howard.samford.edu/oldhoward/),  When I first started checking the weather a few weeks ago it show thunderstorms.  Then a few days ago it started showing up as partly cloudy.  Today when I checked it was 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms.  If the forecast still shows rain on Friday I will not be going.  I’ve ridden in the rain two times and both times I ended up in a ditch with a busted rim and bruised bones. Simply not taking the risk.
