Wonderful Wednesday Workouts!!!
I ran for 35 minutes on the treadmill, a NEW personal record!! (Longest run before was Monday at 28 minutes and the week before at 20 minutes!!)
Basically I broke through the wall and decided to see if i could 'run' a full 5k.
Monday I ran 28 minutes (2.46 miles) before I had to stop on an uphill portion, and finished the 5k in 36:13 walking/running the last bit. (Best mile was 10:19)
Last night, was raining so I did the treadmill at the gym. I set the machine on 6.2 mph and ran the first mile in just under 10 minutes!! I had to back off as low as 5mph on my "rest" segments, ran a couple more segments at the 6.2 and finished the 5k in 34:48!!!
The best part was I did not ever WALK, I ran the full 35 minutes and change.
It was starting to 'rain' on the treadmill, had to get some papertowels and really clean up the poor thing, I think my gym keeps it warmer than normal so you feel like you are really working out? I was trenched!
It looks like I am starting P90x on Monday, buddy is getting me his DVDs this weekend!
