Just like riding a bike...

So as you can see, I haven't run for a few days.  I took the weekend off and then missed yestarday. So I ran today.  I just went to the treadmill, I haven't run on that for a long time.  It was really nice!  I loved the stats~35 minutes, 2.2 miles, 400 calories!!! Woo hoo!!!!  I was afraid that my body would revolt and I would have to go back to running for one minute and walking for two.  But I started out walking my 5 minute warm up and then started running.  I was able to run 2 walk 2 the entire time!!! I was so happy!! If I didn't have something to do, I would have done it for another 20, 30 minutes!! It feels soooo good.  It's actually relaxing.  I just feel so happy.  And when I'm done, I'm so happy with myself.  I'm going very fast, but I'm just loving it!!!

 

 

The only downfall with today is that my knees hurt so bad.  It was all I could do to keep going, but I just loved it.  I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it feels so exhilerating!  I feel on top of the world when I'm done!!!  Today I wore and older top, not one that "wicks the wet away", just a regular one.  When I was done, man was I impressed!~ It was sopping wet!!! But I can't even describe how good it feels!!!  I just love it so much.  I wasn't even winded.  By the time I had finished my 5 minute cool down, I was totally ready to do it again.  I could have done two or three more 2/2 sets! 

 

 

The last time I was on the treadmill was when I was first starting the program.  I did one minute running, two minutes walking.  And I had to stop half way through.  Today was sooo different!  I have really made serious progress in just a couple of weeks.  I am going to have a new goal of running one mile without walking~ but not until sometime in September.  I'm sure two minutes straight doesn't sound like much, but from where I was at, it's wonderful! And since I'm running two minutes every two minutes, I think it's pretty good!  I'm sure hoping it keeps going!  I'm loving this!!!!!!
