Im so proud of myself!
On Friday I ran 3 miles. My pace was between 4.5 -5.0. Which, if you remember, I am 5'2" so that is a good jog for me.
Saturday ran the same route. Sunday, Monday, Tues, and Wed too!! I have run 18 miles so far this week!
I got a new iphone, so I put a gps on it to see how far I was running to the end of the neighborhood, and there and back is 3.1 miles.
Im not going to lie and say this has been easy.
About 1/8 of mile into the run, I start to think, "this is hard, I should slow down and walk a minute to catch my breath." But I push myself. Then after about 1/4 -1/3 of a mile I get into a breathing rhythm and the next thing I know I have run to the half way point. Sometimes I think, I should slow down, but I push thru it and then I think I'd feel guilty if I did walk at that point. And I think, if I have done it before I can do it again.
Its like all these mind tricks I have to use to keep the momentum up.
Today it is raining, so I will use my treadmill.
I did buy new running shoes. Nikes. I could of bought better ones, but my hubby decided he needs new running shoes, even tho he has yet to run with me, or even a mile on the treadmill, but with both of us buying new shoes, I took the cheaper than I wanted ones. Not that they were cheap, $70, but on the lower end of the good running shoes. Hubbys cost 80. I wasn't all that pleased, but maybe now it will get him up and out running with me. Then it will be totally worth it. Then we can both get healthy. I 'd really like that.
If I keep up my pace I should be at my ultimate goal weight, 125 the middle of May.
If I get much skinnier than that I lose my boobs. I was looking at an old pic of when I weighed 110 and I had no boobs!! I like having curves, so 125 is a good weight.
