no HR data, no time. The stupid thing went wonky on me at ~21 minutes. It was actually kinda liberating, even though I'm sure I was slower than if it had been working.

April recap

12 workouts, same as for March. I had excuses for why March was low, I have excuses for why April was low. I just need to get off my butt and go more frequently. But a high note was the 10K with J.

Hotel gym workout

The bike kicks my ass. I cannot maintain a heartrate, guess I'm really not used to it. I had to wait for each machine so this was kinda a short workout.

This was a lot less tiring than 50 minutes of running would have been.
