Busiest I've ever seen the Rec. Couldn't believe it when I found an empty Stairmaster.

20 min Stairmaster - course 8, +2 levels
25 min on track - 3 miles

Ten Weeks Later

44 min on track - 5 miles

Weigh-in: 173 lbs - 2 lb drop this week. That'll work.

20 min Stairmaster, course 8, +2 levels
3x10 - 95 lb incline press
3x10 - 130 lb crunches
3x10 - 75 lb leg extension
35 min on track - 4 miles

30.5 min treadmill - 3.5 miles, 1% incline

Track and Stairmaster again.

27 min run - 3 miles on track
15 min Stairmaster - course 7, +2 levels

Busy place, so I ran on the track instead of the treadmill. I'm not a big fan of the track; it's so small that it becomes really monotonous - 14 laps for 1 mile. But the music helped keep me going, and I actually ended up with a much better pace than I expected.

36 min run - 4 miles on track
20 min Stairmaster - course 7, +2 levels

Nine Weeks Later

15 min Stairmaster - course 7, +2 levels
3x10 - 70 lb abductor/adductor
3x10 - 95 lb incline press
3x10 - 120 lb crunches
28 min treadmill - 3.1 mile

Weigh-in: 175 lbs - 5 lb drop in 9 weeks. Not great, but it's forward progress.
