Finally to Fifteen

Worked out yesterday and finally reached fifteen sets. Very exciting. I'm also not as sore as I was any of the other days and the entire work out was quite tolerable, though I sweated like someone had doused me in water.

My shins hurt less than before, and much less than they did at first, and my feet don't hurt at all except for some arch cramping. My muscles are a little stiff but not sore.

I've been taking ibuprofen for my shoulder and it's been helping a lot and hurting much less, so obviously it's inflammation of some kind.

I can go at 100% for about 40 seconds before the energy falls off a cliff and dies a horrific death.
The breaks that interval training uses are actually really good because I can go hard for a little bit and then finish and spend a bit gasping and then my breathing evens out and then I can go at 100% for a little bit again.

At the end I didn't feel nearly as exhausted as I have previously.

I have also noticed a very slight increase in stomach and back definition.

Later yesterday evening I mowed the front and back yard which was a work out in its own right. My hands are sore and my back is a little stiff from that.

The allergies from mowing are clogging my breathing nicely so no working out today.
At least the yard looks good.

So, back to interval training; I'm now to 15 sets, which is my set goal, I just need to increase endurance/intensity and decrease break time between sets.
