Until I hit the fifth exercise, I was going to score my RPE today in the 6-7 range. I was trying to push the pace, but I was actually limited in some of the exercises by my muscles. I simply couldn't do enough reps to run my RPE up any higher. Then exercise 5 came, and I was able to push nearly into RPE 9 territory. This all caused me to have the epiphany that RPE isn't just a measure of cardio distress. If I'm working as hard as I can and my muscles are refusing to cooperate, that's also a measure of Exertion.

I did have a bit of discomfort in my shoulders during the last exercise, and this persisted to through the warm up. Also, I did the workout at about 9am, and I'm already sore. I'm going to have a hard time walking tomorrow, I think.

I didn't have a chance to do any Portuguese, nor any Kanji. I've got family in town still.
