Milestone Achieved!

Last night, I incorporated *some* of the suggestions made by Adam and discovered I'm not as weak as I thought =p Granted, this was just my upper-body workout.

Milestone
I ran 1 mile in 10 minutes!!! On the Ellipticals =) At resistance of 5! I am so proud of myself!

Warm-up
Elliptical - 25 minutes, avg speed of 5.5 mph at resistance of 5.

Weights
Ab Crunch
4x20 50lb
4 sets of 20 reps at 50lb wt

Seated Dip
3x8 80lb
I did more reps than usual trying to find the right weight. After 3 sets at varying weight, I settled at 80lb wt, doing 3 sets of 8 reps.

Tricep Extension
3x8 40lb
I did one preliminary set to get the right weight, then proceeded with 3 sets of 8 reps at 40lb wt.

Abdominal
4x20 50lb

Pectoral Fly
3x8 45lb
I did one preliminary at 30lb and a closing at 30 lb with the 45lb in the middle.

Cooldown
I walked home =p About 10-15 min walk.

=================================================

So! Great news! I met a milestone on my way to my 7 min mile! I felt good after the workout. Today, I'm not sore, but I may be tomorrow. Thing is, those weights are all I can do currently. I could feel it while doing the exercise, so I should be sore tomorrow. If not, does that mean I'm doing something wrong?
