Love/Hate

Oh how I love........

to hate the treadmill :)

Although my workout on the treadmill has changed a little as of late, I do still enjoy a good workout on this lovely machine.

Recently, my treadmill workout is as follows:

5-Minute Warm-Up Pace: 3.0 mph; incline level: .5 percent

5-Minute Speed Interval Pace: 3.5; incline: 1.5

2-Minute Recovery Pace: 3.0; incline: 1.0

5-Minute Speed/Hill Interval Pace: 3.5; incline: 3.0

2-Minute Recovery Pace: 3.0; incline: 3.0

5-Minute Speed/Hill Interval Pace: 3.5; incline: 4.0

2-Minute Recovery pace 3.0 for the first minute, then 2.5 for the second minute; lower the incline by 1 percent every 30 seconds.

Its not the same as training for a 5K- but it gets the heart rate up and the sweat rollin' :)

Super Sandwich Shop

Being as today was yet another snow day, I though I would be productive and go to the gym this morning. While I was there I did happen to see many other teachers as well so I would have to go ahead and say that snow days are good for a teachers health and wellness :). Even though it was only 10:30 when I left the gym I did realize that I was rather hungry- which makes sense because on a normal week day I would eat lunch around 10:40. On my way out of the gym I happened to look down the strip of stores beside the gym and saw Griff's Deli. I though to myself " Hmmm I bet that would be good!" And good it was! They have a very tasty chicken salad sandwich and house salad! Whoever decided to put a sandwich shop in right beside the gym was a total genius! I bet they make a fortune!
