Like my title says, today I started running again. I really hadn't ran for quite awhile - probably since my last post.. I was nervous about how badly I'd do, but pushed myself to the gym anyway. My goal is to run on my lunch break at the gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am just going to run as far as I can for 20-25 minutes (depending on how long it takes to drive to the gym, change, and then allow time to change back, and then driving back to work).
I made it 2 miles in my 25 minute run/jog. After a 1 minute brisk walk, I sped up. At 12:10 I passed mile 1. I was dying, so I had to slow down and brisk walk again. After 2 minutes of walking, I sped up again and kept up the pace. I made it to mile 2 at 24:30, slowed down, and stopped at 25 minutes. I know I should probably warm up longer and slow down longer, but I am pretty pressed for time.. Hopefully it won't hurt me in the long run! (No pun intended...)
I also signed up for my first 5k. It's on June 22 - so just a few month away! I'm hoping to finish under 40 minutes, but honestly, I will be happy to just finish.
