BFL Day 25

It's still hot here - the one reliable thermometer in town said 28° when I biked home from the gym at 11 this morning. The gym was hot but luckily a breeze was coming in the windows just behind the treadmills.

I wasn't sure how the workout was going to go, because I was so incredibly tired yesterday - bone tired, dead tired - and my glutes were so sore, it felt like I had two big clothespins stuck there! But I figured I would just go and see how it went.

Amazingly enough, it actually went quite well! I felt a lot better than on Tuesday, but I kept the intervals at the same level and it felt good to get into a good pace. The nice thing about the HIIT workout is that it goes by so fast, I guess because I am paying attention to the time and changing the tempo every minute keeps me busy. By the time I finished up I was (of course) sweating like crazy, but I stretched a little and then headed home on my bike.

This afternoon I am heading downtown with the boys to look for shoes in the sales and stop at the library for some more good books.

28C max. would be a fantastic day here, right now, it is closer to our minimums. But of course it is all relative and without air-conditioning I am sure it can get muggy.

Good job on sticking with the BFL program!

I know I shouldn't complain with all you Texans and Floridians who have it a lot worse! The hardest thing here is how hot our house gets, being built of good solid brick, the heat gets in and is very hard to get out. Thank God we have those rolling shutters so we can block the windows on the sunny side.
