Off to the gym, since it's icy outside. Walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes total (including 5 minute cool down). This was my first time walking on the treadmill, so I played around with the settings. I generally walked at a speed of 2.8, occasionally up to 3.5. I set the incline at 3 for 20 minutes, at 5 for 5 minutes, and at 6 for 5 minutes (with the speed down to 2.5). The cool down was flat at 2.2.

It was hard. I sweated buckets and my bad hip hurts. I found that working at the higher incline, slower speed was a lot easier for me -- no surprise, since my legs are strong. Moving my legs quickly enough for the higher speed was a real challenge and I had to hold on to keep from flying off the end of the treadmill.

Not very enjoyable, but I did it. Now, off to the shower!
