Today (the 18th) was the first day of my cardio workout plan. I had intended to start on the 17th but ran into some problems with getting my heart rate monitor working and had to delay it by one day.

So, I got up really early today and headed to the treadmill. I actually felt pretty good throughout it. I carried with me:
-A bottle of gatorade
-A towel
-iPod nano

With my current fitness level, the 2-hours on the treadmill are really not that difficult, it's really more about making myself comfortable on it and then just putting one foot in front of the other, repeat ad naseum. For some reaon, I find the final 30 minutes to be incredibly borring - not taxing, just boring. Still have to look into getting myself a video iPod to catch up on some TV shows or something cause music alone isn't going to cut it.

It's about 2 hours later right now and I'm feeling OK. My knees are only slightly sore and my feet are fine. I'm using some comfortable sandals to massage them, but otherwise, I'm fine. We'll see how I feel tommorrow morning when it comes time to do it all over again
