Blasted Blasphemy

This morning I didn’t go the extra mile – or rather – extra mile and a half. Instead of 60 minutes on the Gazelle, I went forty and only traveled 1.5 miles.

My knee is stiff, irritated and snap-crackle-poppy. It started slowing me down earlier this week but not until the thirty minute mark. Today it just wouldn’t warm up. It could be because of the weather being cooler.

I read a report that it’s the length and not the intensity of the work out that matters. Which sounds great until you read you should at least walk 12 miles a week and anything over that is of great benefit too. I’ve not yet done 12 miles in a week. This week would have been the first.

Well, the day isn’t over yet. Tonight I’ll pop some Motrin an hour ahead of time and get in that last 1.5 miles. It still counts if it’s broken up into two sessions right?
