So after having one evening consumed with addressing hair problems, and another evening consumed with washing clothes, I decided that I had to get some better working out in. I am still committed to being able to gain fitness without the gym, so I had to think again about activities that I truly found to be fun and also a workout. I then enrolled in a daily email that is supposed to allow for "3 weeks to a running habit." So Today was day one..... you know this is not the first day one that I've written about in the last month.
So today, I my 30 minute workout consisted of a 5 minute warm up and a 4 minute cool down. In between the warm up and cool down I alternated one minute of jogging with one minute of walking. It actually felt pretty good to have the heart pounding and the beginning of the sweat to begin.
Needless to say, at the end of my workout I really felt good. I felt good to be able to make use of my treadmill. My treadmill has really been neglected over the past few years, so it defiantly is enjoying the attention. It also felt good to feel good. My new goal is to be able to workout on the treadmill to the point that I can obtain a decent workout outside.
I really used to love working out outside, but I have not gotten there in the past year or so... so here is another heave-ho. My ultimate goal would be to be able to jog in some short races over the summer and I would also like to be able to get into the Columbus Marathon half marathon. Ultimately, I would like to build up the stamina to be able to finish a whole marathon, but I think that may be goal of a 35 year old, and I am but 31.
