Well, my day is ending on a positive note. I went out for a 3 mile run/walk and, I think, I did a good job. It took me 47:11 to complete the 3 miles. And I only had to walk for 9 minutes - the rest was all running, well, jogging! This is what I did:
Run 10 min.
Walk 3 min.
Run 10 min.
Walk 3 min.
Run 10 min.
Walk 3 min.
Run (about) 8 min....
and then I was done with the 3 miles. No, I didn't do a whole 5K, which is 3.1 miles, but I was close. And I probably could have done the 3 miles a little faster, but my daughter went with me, and she had to stop to mess with her shoes about 4 times, so I had to stop with her, and run in place. Anyway, I'm happy that I was able to run more than I had to walk!! Yay!
Congrats on all the running! I still only walk and for the most part that is all I ever will do. I used to run about 10 lifetimes ago and I hated every step so I'm not in any hurry to go back to it. However, I realized on the treadmill the other day that I probably couldn't run 2 minutes even if my life depended on it so I should probably up the speed a bit if I want to get back in shape!
ReplyDeleteAnyway - I'm really proud of you for the progress you have made!
Thanks, Wendie! I've read that walking is just as good as jogging - maybe even better, so just keep on walking!!!!
