So, I managed to get in a little run today somehow between all the craziness. My older child woke up with what seems to be a migraine, but is better now, thank God! After caring for him for the better part of the morning, I managed to get him down for an afternoon nap which he needed so badly. I wasn't planning on running today either. I just spontaneously got dressed and headed down to the treadmill.
I actually walked/jogged a mile in 16 minutes. Previously, the fastest I've ever done a mile was in a little over 17 minutes, and it was strictly walking. This time, I was able to run for 5 minutes straight...shocking, since I haven't run in a while...just been doing the eliptical mostly.
This is how my workout went!
5 minutes walking @ 3.5 mph
5 minutes jogging @ 4 mph
2 minutes walking
2 minutes jogging
1 minute walking
1 minute running
and honestly can't remember what was after the mile...I alternated jogging and walking, but I changed speeds frequently. I was on the treadmill for a total of 25 minutes.
I'd say it's pretty good for my first workout of 2011! Bring on the new year and new me. I'm highly motivated right now, so watch out, here I come!! :)
