So, today I went back to the Greenbelt to do a run/walk thing.
I have a couple of goals right now:
1. To get to a 60 minute run/walk at least once a week
2. Once I get to the 60 minutes, to start running more and getting faster
Today I meant to do 55 minutes. I started out running way too fast, and could only do 1.5 minutes. So I slowed down, and finished 7 run/walk cycles, of 2 minutes running and 4 minutes walking. With warm up and cool down, my overall workout was 57 minutes. I don't know exactly how far I went, it was 3 miles plus a bit, not quite another half mile but close. I will keep to the 2 minute run/4 minute walk for another couple of weeks. Next week is the week I hit the 60 minute mark.
At some point, I will post my ultimate training plan. For now, I'm content with what I'm doing.
I need to do 5 cardio workouts this week and Pilates on Friday (not that Pilates isn't cardio, I sweat like a pig when I'm doing it). So, the tentative plan: elliptical M, run/walk 35 minutes T, Weds off, run/walk 35 minutes Th, Pilates Fri, and elliptical Sat.
DH has also fixed our bikes. I am contemplating finding my helmet and riding my bike to the gym on Saturday, and looking into a basket or something so I can go get some groceries on the bike.
