The Triumphant Return!

Whoa! So, I was out of town all last week and just haven't found the time to write, but I'm back, and I'm going to go through last week pretty quickly. Here goes

JOG: 5 minute walking to warm up, 5 minute jog, 3 minute walk, 17 MINUTE JOG!!!! five minute cool down

I was very glad that they had a workout room, but I haven't run on a treadmill since high school. I don't know what allowed me to run for so long. Maybe I was running at a more consistent/slower speed? Maybe the room was climate controlled? Maybe it was because it was right when I woke up in the morning(6:30)? Whatever. When I got off I felt like the world was coming towards me, and I don't know if that's a side effect of running in place, or if I just over did it.

JOG: 5 minute walking to warm up, 20 minute jog, 3 minute 40 second walk, 6 minute 20 second walk, 5 minute cool down.

So, I had planned on taking it easy today, maybe just walking, or maybe going onto a stationary bike, but there were more people in the gym today than yesterday, and there was this one girl that was in the same meeting as I was. O great, now I have to try to impress her, so that's how I wound up running 20 minutes...nothing like a cute girl to motivate you :) Only later did I find out she just got engaged. Go figure.

I begin thinking that, during the summer, it might be a better idea to run in the morning before work, that means I would have to wake up at least 40 minutes earlier. Maybe...

Terribly hard today, I guess it could have been worse, seeing as I haven't done push ups since Tuesday and yesterday was the first day that I just didn't do anything. The crunches hurt my back.

I'm so tired from this week...I think it's because I woke up so early to jog...I don't think it'll go over well if I try to do that all summer. We'll see, I guess, but running in the afternoon is sooo draining when it's hot!

JOG: 5 minute warm up walk 30 MINUTE JOG!!! 5 minutes cool down walking.
Total: 4.33 miles in 40 minutes and 28 seconds Walking: 0.76 miles in 10 minutes
Jogging: 3.57 miles in 30 minutes

Alright. So I reached my first big goal in jogging for 30 minutes. I kept my pace as near as I could to what I was running on the treadmill, around 6.5 mph, and the weather was nice and I just went for it. I felt sooo good for finishing! My right ankle sort of hurt afterward, but other than that, It was great!

THE END! (or just the beginning, really)

I don't know if I cheated or not today...I took a pretty long break between the 3rd and 4th set.

WALKING: 2.44 miles in 33 minutes and 7 seconds.

Did some errands around town, so I decided to walk to them. It was a pretty nice day out, so I'm happy.

I feel like I should just fill up this space, but seeing as it's pretty darn late, and I'll be posting again in a few hours for today's workout, I'll leave it at this.
