Yesterday I only walked on the levee. Bella walked too. She loves going for long walks. She'll start to whimper and try to get out of the car as soon as she realizes where we are.
Today I walked a few minutes to warm up. Then:
8 minutes run
3 minutes walk
8 minutes run
3 minutes walk
8 minutes run
The last 8 minutes started to hurt. I definitely need to buy some new shoes this weekend. I noticed that I would start to feel the burn around 5-6 minutes in my run, and the urge to stop was stinging in my brain. I pushed anyway, and if I stopped for a few seconds, i would immediately push myself to run again.
I feel a little sore right now, and I bet I'll feel it even more tomorrow.
The goal this week is to run 8 minutes at a time. Next week I will see if I can do 10 minutes. I bet I could do 10 minutes now, but I don't want to over-exert myself when I haven't really ran in the past two months.
I purchased two running books. One is called ChiRunning, which focuses on using your core/good posture to eliminate pain while decreasing your perceived level of exertion. I also bought Runner's World Complete book of Women's Running : The best advice to get started, stay motivated, lose weight, run injury-free, be safe and train for any distance.
If you want to lose weight, I really suggest running. I used to be totally turned off by running, but I always envious of the lean people running their hearts out by the lakes. Whenever I start running consistently, my weight drops. Whenever I stop, my weight of course creeps up slowly and slowly.
Also, its a great activity to share with your partner.
So this is the plan right now: The goal is run for at least 30 minutes without stopping. I'm slowly building up to that. Right now my book suggests to do it at least 3 - 5 days.
