224 when I woke up and 223.5 after run and swim.
I did not run last night as I was looking after my daughter while my wife had our son out to a ball game. We ended up at Boston Pizza for supper and by the time we got home it was just too late to run. I did do 40 minutes in the pool before supper though.
Run tonight was 3.93 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill – I was pushing pretty hard to see if I could get the breaker on the treadmill to trip. (I switched out the breaker from 15 amps to 20 to see if that would help – and it did – so now the job this weekend is to run a new full 20 amp circuit for the treadmill which will also make sure it isn’t using an extension cord anymore either). In the end I did a total of 3 minutes walking, several at 7.5, 8 and 8.5 mph but also a total of 5 minutes at 9 mph and 1 at 10 mph.
The 10 mph was tough but I think I can work to that for short time periods – I don’t normally use the emergency stop cord but I will be starting to on days I figure I will be trying the 10 – it is such a sprint for me that any minor hiccup could cause an issue and the emergency cord will just make it a bit safer.
I also did about 40 minutes in the pool right after the treadmill run (and before supper) but didn’t do many laps and only did a couple sets of the swimming pool resistance training exercises and just relaxed (while still constantly moving at least a little).
