Day 41

I'll pretend I intended to jog instead of lift today.

I jogged as my warm-up, as has recently become habit, but my lifting was nearly totally non-existent.  Yesterday I thought my recent under-performance was nutrition-related, but now I think that jogging really takes it out of me.  I figured it would make me tired at the time, but maybe it's completely debilitating me.

Normally I would experiment by excising jogging and resuming my earlier routines, but I think in this case my recent lifting failures play to my advantage -- jogging is probably better for me.  So what I might do going forward is reallocate my lifting days to try to get better at jogging and continue swimming on the other days.

So I jogged just over 1.5mi (up a "1" incline, at 7.4mph), and walked a bit on either side of it, then added 7 more minutes of "random" walking after my failed lifting.  That's an improvement jogging-wise.

Next time I'll probably just skip the weights altogether and try to do even more jogging.
