One day at the gym down two to go...

I am constantly looking for an excuse not to go to the gym. Yesterday, I didn't go because it was my first of four days off and I decided I was allowed to rest. In my defense, I have a mild sinus infection and had been working with fevers and pain the last few days (more than my usual), but frankly if I let that stop me I'll never go because I have pain and fevers pretty much every day. I want to go at least three times this week; my week starts on Saturday because that's how our payroll works. Anyway, this morning I had a protein-fruit smoothie and went to the gym. Hooray for me! I am finding I have to work harder on the treadmill to get my heart-rate up. When I started at the gym in February the damn treadmill kept slowing itself down because it thought I was going to have a heart attack when my heart-rate went above 150. Now I'm going faster than before with a heart-rate in the high 130's-low 140's. I still can't run on that thing; I'll fall on my ass.
