Okay. So 20 views and no comments. Mox nix.

Today was an easy day. It should have been my rest day, but I added an easy cardio session.

Cardio - 20 minutes on the elliptical - completed 2.5 miles at level 6. I followed this with 15 minutes on the treadmill, all at 4 mph - going from 2 to 10 degrees of incline and holding the 10 for the last 6 minutes.

My goal was to keep my HR below 150. I've had a hard time doing indoor cardio an keeping my HR in the target range. I'm used to getting my HR in a range of 160 to 175 for cardio. My doc wants me to throttle back, guess I will have to set another, albeit easier goal.
