Way to make that goal :)

Tuesday, Dec 11th--
2 mile run

Wednesday, Dec 12th--
3.25 mile run.. when I get up to speed a little better.. I will start keeping track here of my time on the treadmill, and my settings.
Currently I get an extremely vigorous workout on 4.5 to 5, NO incline and I go back and forth between 3.7 walking to 5.0 running.
Each time I get a little stronger.. I just gotta keep at it.

Then did abs and arm weights-- about an hour workout total.

Cathy...

This is a good process..I have read that running fairly fast for a certain amt of time then into fast walking will speed up and slow down your heart rate which expends more energy and calories burned..Instead of just running at the same pace..I do a similar routine but I increase my speed after each mile or depending on my energy every quarter mile..I will start out at 5.4 then finish out around 6.2 and once in a while will shoot it up that last quarter mile to 7.0..which is good..

You got the tools and education..U can do this Cathy..Go woman

Thursday-- 3 miles

Friday--
nada

Saturday Dec 15th--
3.50 mile run, weights, abs-- great run.

40 min HIIT stairstepper... another awesome workout.

I really like starting the day on the weekends with a good workout, really helps... but I still need to do better with the food....:rolleyes:

My goal for last week was to run 12.5 miles... ended up with: 11.75

My goal for this week: 13.5 miles.

Tuesday-- Dec 18th--
3.6 mile run... felt fantastic, but really, really had to push myself. And my time was rather slow.. but workout was DIFFICULT.... think I sweated off at least 5 lbs!! :lol:

Tonight.. another 3.5 miler :)

Wednesday-- Dec 18th--
ran/walked 4.23 miles!!!!! it took me close to an hour.. which is slow... BUT... the funniest thing... the first mile and a 1/2.. I could NOT figure out why it was soooo difficult.. I thought to myself.. I should be getting stronger.. not weaker... then I realized.. I had the incline set to 3.0.. which isn't alot.. but when you are used to running with no incline.. it made a HUGE difference... my shins hurt and I was getting pissed.... when I took the incline back down-- omg.. what a difference.. I FLEW on that damn treadmill!!! SOOO.. now that I know I CAN do it with incline.. I am going to really start experimenting!!

:):):)
