CompuTrainer Class: Aerobic Capicity I

This was from my drive home yesterday--I'm glad I was on my side of the highway! When I got home, I ran 5 miles because I made 5 stops on my way. My original plan was to run a mile at each stop, but since it rained on me at every stop but the last, I just scrapped that plan and made a new one. It wasn't my best run, but it was a good one considering I'd just spent 12 hours in the car!

This was our workout today in Todd's class. The scale might be a little off, but it otherwise looked like this.

I am quite sure I will feel the day-long drive + 5mi + 35mi all in 24h, but right now I feel pretty good!
