I felt wobbly on my feet this morning. A sure reminder I need to continue paying attention to my physical therapy exercises.
I wasn’t mentally into this one until about half way. I didn’t check my watch much at all so I didn’t know how fast or slow the intervals were. I started counting my strides and found that somehow kept me more consistent … so long as I didn’t lose count! Synced up breathing and stride rate by counting 1-2-3-4; 2-2-3-4; 3-2-3-4, …. I would count up 20 reps then start over. Found that I couldn’t ever quite make it through 4 sets before the 2 minutes ended.
After recovering, I felt strong going back to the car at the Y.
