So I have been doing really well at getting my workouts to fit in my schedule. I try to lift weights combined with light cardio about 2-3 times a week. Then on the other days I have been doing anywhere from 60-120 minutes of cardio..... well today that was a mistake.
Today I thought that is sounded fun to be able to get an interval fitness class in to get myself ready for my workout on the treadmill. This interval class was "the devil." She had me jumping, punching, squatting, kicking, stepping... you name it, we did it.... and with weights to add. ... I did mention that I lifted yesterday for an hour right?....
Needless to say I somehow got through that featured 60 minute torture session... and moved on to the treadmill. Since I felt rather exhausted, I was a bit weary about how my treadmill session would be today. Then, I walked into the area that I was working out.... and Twilight was playing (I love Twilight). I said to myself that I would just get on the treadmill and walk for bit... then "get it in" tomorrow.
My brief walk at a speed of 4.0 turned out to last an 35 minutes. Then after 35 minutes and 2 miles, I decided to try to get some jogging intervals going. I walked for a minute at 4.0, then jogged for a minute at 5.0. This went pretty well, and before I knew it I was at 3 miles.
Knowing that I had already completed a class previous to this workout, I told myself that I was not going to push to hard,... So I turned the pace back down to 4.0. With 10 minutes left, I decided to round out my second hour of working with some more jogging intervals. Once again I alternated minutes with 5.0 jogs and 4.0 walks. My last two minutes before my cool down I jogged at 5.0. The machine slowed to 4.0 for 5 minutes for my cool down and I finished with 4.39 miles for today!!!!!.... Not too shabby, but I need to get better.
I definitely can't wait til my next jogging workout... I can only do better.
