OH...MY...GOODNESS! Running is super hard! I did it though. W1D1 (That's "week one day one", code from this running site I go on! hehehe!) is complete. I did a 5 min warm up walk at a brisk pace and the alternately jogged for 60 sec and walked for 90 sec for the next 20 min. Finished up with a ten min cool down walk. I'll do that twice more this week and then the intervals will increase weekly.
What a sense of accomplishment. I don't think I've jogged that much in my life! I felt like it went really well. I was pleasantly surprised with how I felt cardiovascularly. The hardest part was just keeping all this awesomeness moving in the right direction.
Then I went home. I absolutely crashed. I ate something and sat on my couch. I made it for about 15 min before I had to lay down. Jason asked me what I was doing and I said "I'm pretty sure I'm dying! I'd be positive, but I've never done it before..." I felt so weird. I had this ache in my midsection that was crazy. I think stuff moved deep inside me that never has before. Layers of muscle that have been lying dormant for the last 30 years were rudely awakened yesterday and let me tell you...they protested.
I feel pretty good this morning. I'm kind of flying high from the "I DID IT" feelings!
For anyone keeping track...my laundry is done, my legs are shaved, I'm eating healthy, AND I ran...all on the same day! WHHAAAT????
Love you all bunches. Thanks for the encouragement. You make all the difference in the world to me!
T Love
