Last Thursday, I worked out for my usual thirty minutes and Tuesday, I increased my time on the treadmill to thirty-three minutes. My goal was to work out for forty today and I surpassed it by five minutes! Can you believe it? Forty-five minutes!
I broke up my workout into two segments. My first goal was to clock a mile to see where I am at. I surprised myself by running 6/10 of the mile. It was invigorating watching the numbers add up in the mile column on the treadmill. I finished the mile in fifteen minutes and sixteen seconds,:) That makes me so happy! It was my lowest mile ever!
I followed that with a thirty minute walk at 3.5 mph. I was sweating so bad towards the end that my inhaled breath was hot. I was breathing in sweaty air! Ugh! Gross! I think I need to get one of those clip-on fans for the front of the machine. That will definitely help.
So, I feel like I am going to continue to do this workout thing. I have more confidence and I see improvement in my running. Maybe I will surprise myself again soon!
Keep it up - I am so proud of you!
