38

I am so thrilled to have made it to day 38. Yesterday I thought of a plan to put into motion about getting myself running. At AF the treadmills are pretty nice. They have a variety of "workouts" that you can program and it will keep track of your miles, calories and all that other stuff. Well, the thought occurred to me that I was going about the running a little willy-nilly and that I need a plan. So, here it is: This week I will walk (3.5mph) 4 minutes, then run (6mph) 1 minute. I'll repeat this 6 times, giving me 30 minutes. (Today I only did 5 repetitions since I started feeling a bit light-headed, but I will just make sure I'm more hydrated tomorrow.) Next week, I will walk 3:45 and run 1:15, again, repeating 6 times. Each week I will continue to decrease walking time and increase running time. I'm not sure, yet, how this pace will work, but I'll adjust it as needed. If I keep this pace, I'll be running 30 minutes at a time by the end of March. If I only increase/decrease in 10 second increments it will be the end of May.

  • 35 sit-ups, 50 sits,
  • AF - 20 reps for each machine
  • Gravitron  - 10 reps (30 lbs) chin-ups, 10 pull-ups
  • Treadmill - running 5min, walking 25min
