I'm so glad I came up with the idea of going to the gym in the mornings, because well I absolutely lose all motivation to go at night. By the time I put my little one to sleep last night, I was drained. All I wanted to do was put my pajamas on and veg. So I asked my husband what time he had to leave for work in the morning and I found out that it was 5:15. Perfect! I could wake up and still get a decent cardio workout in. So that it what I did.
This morning I did 15 min on the Arc trainer (yes I finally found out the name of that mystery machine at the gym!) and then ran 2.5 miles. I was DRAGGING on the treadmill for the first mile. I was contemplating quitting at a mile until I realized why. When I first started I put the incline at 2.0 and was running at 5.3. I only wanted to do the incline briefly, but forgot to switch it back. Once I turned the incline back to normal all was well. Once I get up to my 3.1 miles I'm going to start doing more inclines because that was a pretty good workout!
