Day 84: Shoe Ware and Gym Time.

When I got my new shoes I did some research to try to determine how long I should use them.  Most of all the information that I found stated that a pair of shoes should last some between three to four months or 300 to 400 miles. 

Looking at the tread wear on my shoes today I don’t know how much truth there is to how long shoes should last.  I have somewhere around two hundred or so miles with my shoes, by my calculation, and either I am really hard on my shoes or there was some other reason the tread is wearing completely on the soles.  Bottom line is I have maybe another few weeks left on my shoes.

I am wearing the back soles of my shoes out. We took our niece shopping for a new backpack for back to school and while we were out I looked at several different sports stores for new shoes.  I didn’t buy today but I have an idea of where I am going to go when I finally decide I need new shoes.

Today we hit the gym.  It was me versus the Life Fitness machines part three. Again the Life Fitness machine won.  After I followed the online instructions to build a work out I plugged my USB dive in and selected my workout.  The first interval worked and after that it went to a cool down and ended my workout.  Clearly I have to find out why I am having such problems with this machine. 

After my fail I wasn’t feeling the work out. It was hard.  I decided to see how high I could get my heart rate without running.  I eventually set the treadmill to 3.5 miles an hour with a 13 incline and the muscles were burning in the back of my legs.  I was huffing and puffing the whole time.  My heart rate?  I got it up to 147 bpm.

Daily Recap:


Matt and Kelly:  30 minute treadmill workout at the gym.  I won’t lie.  For me it was brutal.
