Tonight's Workout (2/7/05)

Terrific!!!

Tonight I ran/walked 3 miles in 50 minutes!!!! This is great!!! I've never done that before. My "coach" called me this morning and encouraged me to do two 3 mile runs this week. He suggested that I get up early and run before work. After the laughter died down, I agreed to try and run 3 miles twice this week after work and to prepare for a 6 mile run this weekend. There was some pain at first. So, I bailed on my first attempt, did some more stretching and hopped back on the elliptical. When another treadmill opened up, I was able to run w/ almost no pain. The trick is to find the perfect treadmill. Seems like no 2 are built alike.

Treadmill (run/walk)
--Time: 55 min
--Dist: 3.25 miles
Elliptical
--Time: 10 min
--Dist: .75 miles
Lots of Stretching

Right now my ankles are soar. Luckily tomorrow I have my book club so I can rest up for another 3 miles on Wednesday.

Today, even w/ the pizza I just ate, I managed to stay within my point range. Two firsts in one day.

Finally, there's a slight possibility that I may be on TV on Friday. So, I'll keep everyone posted.

- Until we meet again
