I wanted to jog at least 20 minutes today even if it wasn’t 20 minutes straight.  So after the first 10 minutes (which I had a hard time with), I decided that I was going to run another 10 minutes – no matter how many times I    » Click here to read the rest of this post

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

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

DONE!

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

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

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

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
