Leave a Comment

DONE!

Day 7 :  23 minutes – 5 min warm-up / 90 jog / 90 walk / 180  jog / 180 walk  (repeat)

Total: walking (14 min) / 120 walking (9 min)

Well I made it through week 3.  yay for me!  I didn’t walk yesterday to try and rest my right shin.  I’m glad I did.  It wasn’t bad running today but it’s irritated still.  I actually found running easier on my shin then the walking.  I just need to get in better cardio shape.  I looked through all the weeks of this program a few days ago and saw that the ultimate goal is to be running for 30 minutes by week 9.  That’s only 6 more weeks.  Running for 30 minutes straight?  Hmmm…. I’ll believe that when I see it.  lol!  Going to try though and so far I’ve been on track and the workouts are feeling great!  I really need to get myself over to the local Fleet Feet so they can did a running analysis.  I just might be able t get a pair of shoes that help me to not walk so much on the outside of my feet.

On Facebook this week, Kara Luce recommended the Nike + Sportsband which collects your running from a chip on your shoe.  She ties her chip to her laces which I would do as well since I don’t actually like Nike shoes – never have.  They also have one that works with an iPod/iPhone instead of the sportsband.  Even though I have an iphone, I think the sportsband might work for me better.  It looks like a very cool gadget.
