Cranking DOWN the volume

Well, in my pervious post i mentioned cranking up the volume.  I think i need to take it back down.  I did great for awhile.. Then started to miss goals slightly... Then monday i had a pathetic workout.  I had planned 13 minutes at 146 steps a minute.. I got 7 minutes in, and had to take a break. Then another. Then another.  In the end i averaged 133 steps a minute counting the breaks. pathetic. Afterwards i felt sore and burned out.  I am definitely overtrained, so a little break is in order.  I'll just do a little yoga, but not other work until friday, then try to do the workout then i had planned for monday. And only do monday/friday.  That means only 4 more workouts before US bank, but it's better than hitting the stairs sore and burned out!!!
