So, today was Day 1 of week 1.
Here was the goal for today: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Music for Today: Toby Mac - Diverse City
It felt good to get outside. The weather was perfect for sweat pants and a light long sleeved shirt. I will admit that starting out I didn't think I would be able to finish. I started the 5 minute walk and I could already tell I was out of shape, but I kept going. I began the running portion and before I knew it I was half way through and still had the energy to finish! It felt SO good to finally accomplish 1 workout and I kinda actually enjoyed it, and that was weird.
I did find that sometimes I was pushing myself a little too much and I often had to remind myself to SLOW DOWN. Once I did, I was able to find a better rhythm and felt more in control. I think sometimes I need to remember that in my own life. I feel like I am always running a mile a minute with stress and what needs to be done RIGHT NOW. I think if I took a little time to slow down and collect my thoughts, I might find myself more in control.
Goal before next run: Get a new battery and watch band for my sport watch. Borrowing Andy's watch might get a little old (for me and for him).

Hey... I do that very same thing. Walk 60 run 90. I am very impressed! You can do it! I have actually started to get back to eating better as well. I am just getting rid of the sugar! I know back in Cancer days I felt soooo much better when I was eating better. So that is my current challenge. Before you know it, you will be signing up for a marathon. :)
