I did it!
I got up and ran this morning. I didn't do the c25K routine because I wanted to just see how much I could do non-stop, to kinda figure out where I was. I got up stretched, did a few jumping jacks to get my heart rate up and started running down the cul-de-sac by my house. I ran the whole thing and back again. It turned out to be 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Which doesn't sound like much but my calves were sore from doing Jillian yesterday. After running, I started walking and honestly, after a minute of walking I felt like I could run again. Maybe I should have, but I really just wanted today to be a practice run. It felt pretty good to run though, minus the feeling that all my neighbors were watching me out their windows. I also realized I need to invest in a new sports bra. LOL.
I also forgot that this was the week when I was going to attempt working out for an hour a day. Well...when I start the C25k routine on Wednesday, that will be 20-30 minutes, plus Jillian Level one...which is another 30 (including warm-up and cool down) That is an hour on MWF. So on TTH I will try Jillian Level 2, walking and yoga. I know walking and yoga is not really supposed to count...but...baby steps, right?
This is also my 100th blog post! YAY! Now I am going to go stretch out my calves and make a smoothie.YUM

I feel like such a blog whore now! I am up to like 130 posts, lol. We started this together, how do i have so many more than you? OH, its cause i post like 4 a day. haha. Good luck working out an hour a day. I need to work on toning now. Ugh. It's going to have to be back to Jillian before long, but I really want to spend more time outside.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean walking doesn't count? Walking fast (1 mile in 15 minutes) burns 108 calories. And if you're going up and down hills constantly (like I do) then you're building up muscle. ;oP
