So I wasn’t going to post until tomorrow morning but I am sooo excited & happy that I just couldn’t help it.
As you know I was on vacation all week, I got back last night feeling all of the food choices that I made resting on my shoulders (more on that tomorrow). So I made the decision that since I had today off that I would hit the gym. I didn’t give tony much of a chance to say no so I enlisted him to be my gym partner.
We did typical strength training for about 25 mins. After we decided to do 10 mins on the treadmill. We all know I hate the treadmill! Tony wanted to do the bike but I loathe the bike even more than the treadmill so there was no way I was sitting my butt on there.
Anyways I got on the treadmill determined to do at least 10 mins on 4.1 mph. I won’t lie and say that I believed I could do it. The last time Tony & I did a run with c25k we did week 4 and I thought I was going to die doing the intervals.
So I’m running. Then I’m thinking ok 5 mins in and I don’t feel too bad. Then came 8 mins, ok breathing a bit hard & I feel the beginnings of shin splints but still not to bad. I pay close attention to my breathing & running form and before I know it I am coasting to 10 mins. I was feeling good. I look & the cool down had just started. Tony was still running at this point so I said what the heck and cleared the cool down & started running again on 4 mph for another 10 mins!!!!
When I was done I was astonished. Did I really do that? Where did this come from? Then Omg I just did a 15 min mile!!!!
I may just become a runner after all!
