April 13, 2011 - another workout day
Good morning everyone,
Had another workout at the gym on the treadmill. Seems to be working out by running a minute at 2.5 grade, 5.0 speed for 1 minute and at 0.00 grade, 5.0 speed for 1 min and 30 sec. I still feel alittle winded on the treadmill and jump off for about 15 sec (thats an indication where I would be walking to catch my breath). Oh well. Just keep working at it. Knowing that I dropped 7 lbs kinda helped some. I know thats mostly water weight but its still weight that I no longer want to keep. anyways, I kept doing that routine for the entire 30 minutes. Tomorrow is the group run - its suppose to be nice, about 55 degrees (raining here today). Saturday's treadmill workout will consist of 3 minute run and 2 minute walk. I may have to up the time by 5 minutes because they want us to run 2.5 miles. I can finish my routine at 30 minutes now at 2.20 miles. Im 1/2 way there already. Now its time to step it up a notch. Im thinking 35 minutes will work out perfectly. Not sure how far that will be when I finally finish at 35 minutes - Hopefully it will get me to just about the 3 mile mark. Even though this is a 5K training run - I plan on basically working toward a 4 miler. Perhaps doing the Canal Fest 4 miler at the end of July. Thats an out and back course. Not too bad. I like out and back courses because you can see the faster people blow past you and your faster friends give you high five or a cheer to keep going by running past you (unless they are ultra serious). Its a big 3 day festival up near Niagara Falls, NY - its very popular and its usually a kickstart to the Erie County Fair that goes on in August.
Happy hump day everyone. Gotta get to work and do something for a change..LOL!!
Love, Jen
