Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym at about 5:50. Today was a cardio morning and I had a good workout. The time actually flew by because most of it was spent thinking about the new story I am working on. The gym was a bit more crowded this morning than it was yesterday–I guess a lot of people just took one extra day off.
I did my cardio workout this morning, 40 minutes on the elliptical. I burned 526 calories, went a distance of 2.82 miles and reached a peak RPM of 110, all three of which were records for me. I also needed 75 RPM to maintain my 149 heart rate. Furthermore, I noticed today that my recovery rate is improving. After my second sprint, it took 60 seconds for my heart rate to go from 178 to 157.

No workout tomorrow morning because I have an appointment with Bernard for a 4 PM workout, which will likely be a lower-body workout. In a way that’s good. It means that I can stay up a bit later tonight and perhaps do some more writing.
