Motivating T-Shirt

The girl in front of me in spin class today was wearing a T-shirt with the classic Marines quote/slogan "Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body" on the back.  Love it!  And staring at those words helped get me through the last 20 minutes of cycling to complete over 2 hours (over 2:15, in fact) of a tough workout.

Stairmaster: 20 minutes (First 15 min at level 10; remainder at level 8) at 158 bpm average heart rate - "2.23 miles" distance / 267.7 calories burned

Rower:  15 minutes at 160 bpm avg hr - 3435 meters / 208 calories

Treadmill run: 1.5 miles in about 13 minutes (8:40/mi avg pace) at 166 bpm avg hr.  Getting better, stronger, and faster!

Spin class: 75 minutes at 159 bpm avg hr
