I surprised myself yesterday. I had my best run yet even though the last 2 weeks I've been having an energy crisis. It's really amazing how I'm staying in pretty good shape even though I haven't been running as much as I think I should.
Yesterday's workout:
Warm-up walk: 4 min 3.0 mph
Run: 8 minutes 4.0 mph
Walk: 4 minutes 3.0 mph
Run: 8 minutes 4.0 mph
Walk: 4 minutes 3.0 mph
Run: 8 minutes 4.0 mph
Cool-down walk: 4 min 2.8-3.0 mph
40 minutes total and 2.05 miles
My breathing was good and my heart rate stayed in the 150's.
I am so glad that I started running. The coolest thing is that you don't have to run everyday to stay in good shape. Once I got through the first 2-3 weeks I really noticed it getting easier. What I love now is that I can hop on the treadmill and go for it without feeling like a truck hit me. I have no idea why I thought running would always be a hard workout. I guess I could never get past the first couple weeks. I gave up too soon. I'm glad I didn't give up this time. :)
