Running =Struggle
Today's run/walk was a challenge. This week I decided to make a change in my running routine because in the past I felt like I wasn't doing enough. At first I was undecided if I should go by setting a specific time to run or go by mileage. I chose milage. I decided in order to get to my goal of running a 5K @ 30 min or better I need to get used to running 3.1 miles. So I made a new goal last week to run 9 miles a week which will give me three days to run 3 miles. Last week I almost met my goal I did complete 9 miles however 3.2 of those miles where skating.However, I had so much fun.
Anyhow this week I 'm back and focused and I completed 3.25 miles this morning. Those miles were hard to come by I didn't think I would make it but I did. It's been a week since I last ran so maybe that's why it was a struggle. At first I was going to try to run the whole thing but it didn't happen so I had 2-3 min walk breaks every 10 min of running. Eventually I hope to be able to run the whole 3.1 miles without stopping.
Tomorrow I plan to run 3 miles again, I might go to the local park. I need to take advantage of being able to enjoy the outdoors while I can.
Didn't weigh myself this week, kind of avaoiding the scale. Maybe I will face my fears later on during the week.
Well my DH surprised me with the IPod Nano the other day and it's in my favorite color, purple. I guess he got tired of my nagging,lol. Anyhow I was able to use it on today's run and I really enjoyed it. It is so lightweight. I can't wait to get the Nike Plus Sport Kit, it's on it's way. Not like my Garmin isn't enough, but sometimes that big ole computer get's heavy on my arms it could be slowing my pace, lol just kidding. I'm also waiting for the armband, once I get my playlist together I'll be all set and hope to have better runs. There is no excuse! I'll be back to visit.
Until next time much love
