I met my running goal… I jogged for 30 minutes straight without stopping to walk any of it. I’m ecstatic that I met the goal, not really doubting that I would (those pushups are another story!) but I’ve really just come to realize that I will never really enjoy running.
I thought that I would make [...]
I had three objectives for August 3rd:
jog 30 minutes straight on the treadmill
get back to 148 pounds
do 10 pushups
I got to 30 minutes this morning, over a month early! I was so pumped and extended my previous best by almost a third (my last attempt was 21 minutes) but I got in such a groove [...]
On May 17th, I stated my goals for August 3rd:
lose 13 pounds to get back to 148 pounds
run for 30 consecutive minutes on the treadmill
do 10 pushups
I had 11 weeks to get to those goals. Considering I am four weeks into the 11 available, I wanted to make sure I was on track to succeed [...]
With the exception of yesterday’s holiday cookout, I did well in my portioned eating this past week. And, although I ate with compulsion a couple too many times yesterday, I did not totally go off the deep end. The scale this morning only showed a one pound gain as a result, so it will come [...]
I was excited to share, but didn’t get the opportunity to yesterday when it actually happened… I jogged for ten minutes straight on the treadmill and I wasn’t even overly fatigued when I stopped! I could have kept going, but I’ve heard that the recommended progression is only to increase duration by 10% at a [...]
I’d like to say that I prioritize my life to include plenty of exercise and do things that are good for ME but alas I tend to put my kids ahead of myself. I’m not all that angelic though… I do find myself wasting plenty of time too. Facebook is evil that way, [...]
A few months ago you may remember me mentioning a couple of friends that were training for a 5K. It was so motivating for me that I dusted off the treadmill in the basement and tried gradually increasing the number of jogging minutes in a 30 minute interval. While I had gotten that [...]
I’ve attempted my 30 minutes of treadmill work three times now in the last four days. The first time I did it, I jogged 11 out of the 30 minutes. The second time, 13 minutes, and today 15.5 minutes. Nice improvement! And, I noticed again today that it seems to be [...]
Continue reading about treadmill work is getting a bit easier
I repeated my treadmill workout tonight. This time, I made 13 of the 30 minutes be running minutes! I am happy with the increase, but even more so, I am thinking that the running motions were a little smoother and less cumbersome. I actually felt like a runner! I kind of [...]
