Day 36

Completed the 3 sets of 12 reps routine.  It was still very, very hard on my arms, was harder than usual on my legs too.  Somehow I am getting weaker.

I figured by now I'd have adapted to the 3x12 -- this is the 4th time I've done it and it's spanned 3 calendar weeks.  I don't think this would be the "overtraining" I hear about, but I'll keep an eye on it.

The good news is that i was able to jog a mile in my warm-up.  I was feeling fairly spry - possibly because i went later (after some morning meetings) or was well-fed (I ate at home this morning).  Whatever the case, I jogged at 7.2mph for 10 minutes and so went over a mile.  That's a big "milestone" for me, since it was just last week that i nearly perished trying to jog for 3 minutes.

Current exercise mindset:

  • weights: vexing, but not daunting.
  • jogging: improving, but uninteresting.
  • swimming: increasingly tiresome.
  • biking: occasionally appealing.
