I'm doing my workouts daily, at least once, twice if I'm up to it. Today apart from all  the regular things I discovered two new exercises for upper arms. Basically, the home gym machine is a set of weights with a number of wires and pulleys, so it offers a range of flexibility and you can use your imagination how best to use it. That's apart from the standard set of exercises in the brochures.

Tried to beat this, but at 1.93 km I was at 16:44 so I knew that I wouldn't be able to beat it. Gave up at that point, but I was close.

Did some TM running. Increased speed to 13 km/hr. These are short 100-200 mtr bursts, but that is a good speed for me.

I had a total of 1884 steps yesterday and didn't have to use any support so doing much better.  Today I am going to try to get at least 250 steps each hour so that would be at least 3000 steps.  I still am sore but not nearly as bad as it was.
