Today was a day of reckoning, exercisers. However, there's something I need to get off of my chest first before I divulge any more.

T33 is a manipulative, vindictive, sadistic little bitch.



Now that that's out in the open, let's carry on.

Apparently, I wasn't the only one who naturally awoke early with the time change. There was a bum rush towards the door of the gym at 6:59. Usually I get 2-4 others coming in about the same time as me but today there were.....no lie......no exaggeration.....at least 20 people zeroing in for the door at the same time as me.

Maybe they were practicing early for their holiday shopping. I dunno. I got my spot and that's all I cared about at that point.

Usually the first running interval doesn't kick in until I've had a chance to get a decent rhythm going, at least 5 minutes. Well, Missy Miss T33 decided to give me not one but TWO running intervals BEFORE the 5 minute marker and when I buckled down and did them like a rock star, she did piddly after that!

I only got one more running interval in the first hour! 60 minutes and only THREE intervals!?!

She hits me hard first thing when I'm not prepared and revs me up for a hard ass workout and then denies me when I'm ready and wanting more. I told you.....sadistic.



I fixed that chit.

*nods*

Oh, yes I did!

After the first 60, I ran to the bathroom and took a 2 minute break and then came back with a plan of action. I would still use the random program but manually orchestrate my running intervals. Sure, it would be more work for me and a little more jarring on the bones with the stopping and starting but totally manageable.

Here's my stats for the first round. Winner, T33.

Random program, level 5.
Stats: 359 cal, 3.37 mi, 60:00 min
Running intervals: 1 @ 90 sec @ 5.0 mph, 2 @ 60 sec @ 5.0 mph

And here's my stats for round two. Winner, ME bitches!

Random program, levels 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9.
Stats: 325 cal, 2.74 mi, 45:00 min
Running intervals: 3 @ 90 sec @ 5.1 mph, 6 @ 60 sec @ 5.1 mph

Total stats: 684 cal, 6.11 mi, 105 min

I lost some time and momentum switching not only the speed but the incline each time but it was nice to have more control over my intervals while still getting incline work too.

And, as a bonus, I nearly worked off that personal pizza I ate last night. Calories: 750.
