Total: 28 minutes - walking (13 min) / jogging (15 min)

I’m not sure what is up with me this week.  I didn’t have a break in my weeks but this week kicking my ass.  I wasn’t even able to jog week’s 6 program today.  After I was done, I had a bright red face (like I do when I push myself that extra bit).  But    » Click here to read the rest of this post

Day 18 : 5 m warm-up / 10 min jog / 3 min walk / 10 min jog / 5 min walk

Total: 33 minutes - walking (13 min) / jogging (20 min)

Instead of moving onto week 7, I am going to repeat week 6.  And today, I didn’t even do that.  My legs were just not working today.  ugh…  My shins started bothering me halfway through – after I walked the 2nd time – so I decided instead of pushing myself through the pain, I would back off.  I usually will push through    » Click here to read the rest of this post

Week 6 : Friday : Cool Running

DONE!

Day 18 : 5 m warm-up / 25 min jog / 5 min walk (added)

Total: 35 minutes - walking (10 min) / jogging (25 min)

I knew today was going to push me so I made sure to play my music this morning.  I have been running silent – no music at all – which is a bit odd for me anyway.  But with having to run 25 minutes straight today, I knew I was going to need some music to get me through the last 10 minutes.   :DClick here to read the rest of this post

DONE!

Day 17 : 5 m warm-up / 10 min jog / 3 min walk / 10 min jog / 5 min walk (added)

Total: 33 minutes - walking (13 min) / jogging (20 min)

I went back to my original pace today.  After Monday’s speed change fiasco, I decided to just finish this first 9 weeks at the same pace I’ve been walking/running and just try to build up my endurance.  :)  So I stayed at a 3.9-4.1 running speed and 3.3-3.5 walking speed.  I still had around the same cal burn at    » Click here to read the rest of this post

Day 15 : 5 m warm-up / 5 min jog / 3 min walk / 8 min jog / 3 min walk / 5 min jog

Total: 29 minutes - walking (11 min) / jogging (18 min)

I finished the workout but I was not able to run all 8 minutes or the last 5 minutes. I changed my speed trying to get closer to the 10 min mile jog – which I’m not even close.  The first 5 min jog, I was running at 4.9 when I have been jogging at 3.9.  Big    » Click here to read the rest of this post

Weekly Goals: Week of 7/11/10

Written by Jen July 11th, 2010 at 11:39 am

Here is this week’s goals… I didn’t post any goals last week because it was a real short week for me.  I did actually finish up a redo of an old kit last week which had been on the big todo list for a few weeks.  That was good. :)

We still have swimming in the morning but the other camps are finished so no driving around like a crazy person.  lol!  Maybe I’ll get some designing in this week.

    Week 5 : Friday : Cool Running

    DONE!

    Day 15 : 5 m warm-up / 20 m jog

    Total: 25 minutes - walking (5 min) / jogging (20 min)

    I went into today’s workout with a positive I CAN DO THIS attitude.  I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to do all 20 minutes.  The last 5 minutes – especially the last 2 – were tough.  Lots of hard breathing.  But I DID IT!  I jogged the full 20 minutes!  I walked an additional 5 minutes at the end to slow my racing heart rate. So my numbers were 10    » Click here to read the rest of this post
