I am able to push myself harder now. Very good workout today.

Big bummer though, my Gazelle is getting squeaky! I've tried lithium grease but it's not helping. I hate to think I'll have to take the darned thing apart, but it's making so much noise now that I'm sure to wake somebody eventually.

I had planned on doing some strength training this morning, but I woke up pretty sore today. I think I'll take today off and do the exercises I had planned tomorrow.

Fortunately my Gazelle is back to normal! Turns out I was greasing the wrong area; my hubby figured out the problem.

Who'd have thought that I'd be fighting to keep a piece of exercise equipment, when probably two or three years ago I'd have used that squeaking as an excuse to quit??
