So this is just an update. I have somehow managed to continue to progress with my feeble attempt at running. I'm hanging in there and what's even more strange is that I'm actually enjoying it. I have decided that running outside is really the only way for me. I enjoy the breeze and the sunshine a lot.
When I started running a couple months back, I started slow with 2 minutes running followed by 3 minutes walking. I am now to where I can run sustained for 22 minutes at an 11 min. mile pace (so I get to about 2 miles) then I walk for a couple minutes til I can run again. Then I go for speed spurts. I try to go 2 minutes of running at a 10 min. mile pace.
Today I went 5 miles in 1 hour! For me that is pretty good:) My goal is to be running sustained for 30-35 minutes by the end of May so that I can run an entire 5K race.
Hope all is well with everyone! Can't wait to see Suzie, Robbie, Lyndsay and the boys at the end of the week:)
