I wanna see you sweat

[cyrano]

Tonight, for the first time in probably six months, I managed to put together a week with three visits to the gymn. Go me!
The cardio portion of my routine is usually twenty-five minutes on the alpine thingy with target heart rate at 140. Most days I get between two or three miles on that setting. I was starting to feel a little comfortable so I decided it must be time to bump it up a little. Just a little--two heartbeats. Just to 142.
Kicked. My. Ass. And three and a half miles.
I also started a new muscle group on my weight training--lower back. Dunno why I didn't start sooner, given the amount of trouble it gives me. Hopefully I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
And now I really want a doughnut.
mmmmmmmm. doughnut.

In other news, Nauti's mileage is definitely down. From 30-35 to about 28. Keeping an eye on it, as two tanks in a row is unsettling but not telling.

I've been tracking mileage since I got the car--the sudden change in levels was two tanks ago. This third tank, I bought the spendy petrol to see if that had any effect, although it has not made a difference in the past. With the tune up (between the first and second tank, as was the accident) I changed the fuel filter. Air filter has been changed with in the past couple of months. Oil was changed with the air filter.

And from what little I've heard of Car Talk, I believe you. I should see if they archive episodes on the web.
