Treadmill workout 153: Paying for a lazy day

I’m pretty sure I missed one of these, but on we go.

Today I spent most of the day indoors, with my achy legs, and noshed and surfed and went on the deck for a bit to shoot some photos of birds on the wall garden. But mostly I just kind of existed, watching my various activity rings barely budge.

By 8 p.m. my move streak was at risk and I needed to do something to make up for all that noshing, so a treadmill walk it was.

I kept the speed lower and the incline to 1 (basically simulating walking outdoors) and walked until I hit two conditions:

  1. Hit my Move goal
  2. Finish watching the current YouTube video I was watching

It took 54:25 minutes and 5.65 km, but I did it!

I sweated way more than some of my recent runs. I may need to adjust the fans in here. Otherwise it was fine. I can probably bump the speed up a little, but tonight I was willing to sacrifice time in favour of a more moderate pace because I really just wanted to flake out to start with. This was evidenced by the fact that my speed was a long, graceful downward arc.
