Exercise

Because of last time, I decided to try exercising at a higher resistance level, hoping to keep my heart rate up, at a lower speed. However, that didn't work out too well because I found it really hard work to push against that resistance at a low speed and was easily going over 8mph. At the 4 mile mark I reduced the resistance back to normal, but had to stop at 5 miles.

5 miles, 36:39 (so 8.2mph), 136bpm, 35:43 in zone, 532Kcals

That heart rate is lower than I expected; at the 4 mile mark I was breathing hard and my legs ached!

I hope it fits!

Just ordered a dryer since I don't have one and the weather will soon turn enough that I won't be able to line dry my clothes... but now I'm wondering if it will fit down the basement and into the corner for it! Ulp...

Silly expenses

So I ordered some curtains for the living room and dining room. JCPenny were having a 50% sale. But the price was still a little high, so the sales woman offered be 60% and then an extra 10% and if I signed up for the JCP credit card, another 10%. So I only paid 32% of the original price.

I know this is merely an indication of just how much mark-up there is on store stuff, but I do like seeing receipts where the "you saved" value is twice the amount I ended up paying!
