#1. I did 4 miles on the elliptical today. I wanted to go for 5, but I was short on time. My 4 mile workout was way too easy, and this is why:

#2. My cold is subsiding. I brought a box of tissues on the machine again and I only had to blow my nose three times in 45 minutes. This is wonderful news.

#3. My workout is becoming too easy. If it hadn't been for work, I would have done a full hour. The last time this happened, I realized I needed to step it up a level in resistance. So for my last half mile, I worked at level 3.

#4. Level 3 is a tad more challenging, but I hardly noticed since I only did half a mile at that resistance. Goal for the week: level 3 until Sunday, level 4 on Monday.

#5. Last time we went to Las Vegas we stayed at MGM Grand. I wasn't into exercising then so I only glossed over the information regarding the fitness room, but I distinctly remember that access for registered guests was free. This next trip, we're staying at Mirage. Now that I do care about exercising, I find out that this hotel charges $25 a day for registered guests. Yeah... fuck that. If we hadn't already planned our entire trip, I might have insisted we change our reservations. But thankfully we won't be in Vegas long so I'm just going to hope that walking on The Strip will provide enough exercise until we get to Los Angeles, where our hotel DOES include free use of the fitness center.

#6. Took 500mg of Diamox at 2pm. I can't say I can tell that anything is different, but I'm sure I'll have something to say about it after taking the 750mg dose later tonight.
