RUNNING

So I'm trying to train this week, for my 10K training that will begin next week.

Smart, right?

Let me start of by saying that this is how I feel about running

Attractive, I know.

This was after dying on the treadmill Tuesday night.

I decided I wanted to run on an incline…

much harder than anticipated.

Incline: 3

Speed: 7

Death: Inevitable

Let me offer you some perspective:

I typically run 1 mile at a 5.5 or 6.

So this was stinkin' hard.

But I did it.

I ran intervals:

2 minutes running.

1 minute walking.

I did this 3 times before lowering the incline to a 2.

Then I began again.

I did it for two rounds, before I needed to take a 2 minute walking break.

Then I lowered my speed to a 6.5 and ran 1 minute and walked 1 minute.

I did this until 21 minutes total time.

Is this incredible?

No.

Am I proud of myself?

Absolutely.

I do not have the best endurance.

I'll be the first to admit it.

Which is why I'm working on it!

Following that death run,

I did some abs, biceps, and shoulders.

Oh yeahhhh. 

I never lifted weights until this past January.

And let me tell you, just doing cardio, you will plateau and stop losing weight.

Weight training will not make you big,

unless that is your goal.

So give it a try sometime!

We can talk weight training exercises another Friday.

Go challenge yourself!

Happy Fit Friday,
