Walking and Jogging

259.

I can't call anything I do "running" yet but it's clear that even moderate jogging and walking really help with weight control. The snow is gone for now, and my walking has picked up as a result (I realized this morning that I hadn't driven my car in a week).

My back hurts a bit and my foot hurts a bit--typical symptoms for an uptick in walking. Both very manageable at this point.

My hands are the limiting factor in my kettlebell work. I'm about 1 snatch away from ripping my callouses off, which forces about a week off and is very painful. As a result, I've switched to the rowing machine for my tabata. Yesterday, my low score (the definitive score) was 99 meters--on the 6th of the 8 20 second pieces. The first time I tried a rowing machine tabata my low score was 91, so that's nice improvement. We'll see how it goes today.
