I started a new week of my running schedule. This week I am going 1.5 miles and walking 1 minute, running 1 minute. It went better than I anticipated, since I was going from running 4 minutes to running 13!!! Of course when I set out on my run today, ignorance was bliss, and I didn't know how many times I was going to be running, so it didn't freak me out.
On the route I mapped out, there was a hill that had conquered me before, and when my minute was up on that cycle I was mid-hill. I knew if I stopped in the middle of the hill I was going to feel defeated, so I finished RUNNING up the hill! TAKE THAT!!!
I am not sure why I have started doing this, but at the end of my run, I run around the house next to us, and come back to the house from the parking lot behind the house instead of stopping in front of the house.
Calves: not too sore, Shins: getting not too sore, and my chest has not hurt since that very first run!
Last week I went 1 mile from 19 minutes to down to 15 minutes. While it took me 25 minutes to walk/run the 1.5 mile, I can't wait to see how long (or how much less time) it takes me to run it at the end of the week!
I just pray that I don't get overconfident and push myself into an injury.
