woohoo, walk!

I am pleased to finally note that I am done with my project. Sure, I have lots of tweaking I could and should do, but the necessary part of it is over, so I can go and find some new stress. Woo hoo!

I got done with said project at 1:30 (the absolute deadline was 3pm). A little too close for comfort. I went and got a sandwich and sat in the sun, in the beautiful, beautiful weather, and I wanted to go to bed. For the night. I felt so exhausted.

I never did make it to the gym, but I went for a nice walk this evening. I decided to meet my sweetie up at the chiropractor, which I'm guessing is 3 miles away. I am reading the Runner's World
Complete Book of Women's Running, and they had a heart monitor tip in there, to warm up, then get your heart rate up to 75%, then bring it back down to 60%, repeat.

I learned that it's really easy to get my heart rate up to 75%... and really hard to get it back down to 60% afterwards. I spent a lot of time walking very slowly. Watching the HRM really makes the 43 minutes fly.

So does this mean I'm out of shape? Still recovering from the marathon? I don't know. It's just something else to work on.
