Finally in the groove
I've been too embarassed to post since I joined; I've only been running about once a week (although that's better than the once a month I'd been doing). Until a week or so ago, that is. Since then I've been really good, running almost every day. I'm doing a run/walk program. When I joined I decided to see if I could move to the next part of it (when I was last working out regularly I had plataued at running 3:30 and walking 1:30 for 30 min). I was able to run 4 min and walk 1 right off the bat. It was hard, but no harder than the last step had been. At the beginning of last week I switched to 3r/2w/5r/3w/8r/3w/5r/2w/3r and did that four days. On Sunday I moved to 2r/2w/5r/3w/10r/3w/5r/2w/2r and ran that yesterday and today as well. I was especially proud because on Sunday my run was from the Fremont Bridge to The Fiber Gallery in Greenwood; it's basically straight up hill but I did it! My goal is to build up to running 30 min without stopping. This middle section is I think the longest I have run without walking since I left the Air Force. I'm feeling very proud of myself so far, I just hope I can keep it up.
