Went to the Y after church with Meg. We swam and walked in the water for about 40 minutes, then I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and some weights. I’m working up to more and more of my treadmill time is running instead of just fast walking, but it’s slow going. After we left [...]

More exercising at the Y last night. I did some treadmill to warm up, then did a lot of weights, then about 25 minutes on the treadmill. I was on a treadmill that measures your heartrate at the same time. I was going at a pretty good pace, but my heartrate was reading as 85 [...]
