Exercise!

So I tried an experiment; on the train home I had a Clif Bar in an attempt to stave off hunger pangs, so when I got home I could exercise almost immediately and not have to eat dinner first (and wait for it to digest somewhat). This seems to have worked, except the basement was roasting hot (about 90F). I turned the air-con on, aimed at me, and filled up the water bottle with refrigerated water, but I was sweating pretty quickly. Also I found myself working faster than on Monday for some reason.

One nice thing about the elliptical is it's low impact; my right knee has been playing up these past couple of months, and it can hurt a little going up stairs (at least until I've got moving) at my normal running two-at-a-time speed. The elliptical is a lot more friendly on the knee and I only felt one minor twinge in the whole 45 minute workout.

6 miles, 44:06 (so 8.2mph), 148bpm, 42:26 in zone, 741Kcals

Hungry now!
