It's just a journal

Basically, this is a journal record of my progress with some points of interest thrown in along the way. Some of what I post may not make that much sense to the reader. Today's update: weight loss: maintaining the same Today's run/walk: a total of 3.23 miles; my first long run. Still at 20sec run/40sec walk intervals. increased cycles by 16. I was going about 84, today I managed 68! I'm amazed how far you can push your limits and how the mind can work with you, or against you. I just kept pushing myself today. Feet hurt along the outsides while walking in beginning, running stops that. My left shin hurt afterwards. Iced it down. Weather was cloudy, 74 degrees and a bit humid. I'm not looking forward to August here. I am excitedly waiting for the Run Disney race registration to open! To follow along and read my previous post, go here .

Increasing my run/walk ratio

Image
Started this week's run sessions by increasing to 20sec run/40sec walk per minute for over a mile. Total distance: 2.2 miles 62 degrees. Did surprisingly well on this first run. Only had to skip 2 intervals. Recovery time is quicker. Felt good overall. Knees bothering me a little bit. (over-worked at the job, I think) Getting a little more flexible with stretches. Great weather to exercise in. The new clothes designed for fitness, definitely make the difference, as well as, my new running shoes. Looking forward to more great sessions. No weight loss this week.
