Evening snack:

Comments: I increased the slope by 1 degee to 1.5 today (instead of the scheduled .5 increase) and it really made a difference in how much I sweated and in the finishing heart rate. It may have something to do with the weather. It's supposed to be 70 today (Feb 4) and it was 56 when I went to Inlet. It seemed warmer than usual in there. One of those days when it's too warm for heat and too cool for the ac. I guess we'll find out over the next few days.

This was a good day. Never got too hungry. S
