The countdown is on!

My cruise is coming up this Saturday! I’m in a little bit of disbelief that I really wasn’t able to conquer my plateau before leaving but hey plateaus have a mind of their own and they start moving again when they want to start moving again. So it’s all good because regardless I feel awesome, the best I have felt in years! =)

I’ve been running a lot lately. I spent a little $$ on some really nice running shoes…..these are the ones I got…..Asics Women's GT-2160 Running Shoe.

I really like them, they are very very comfortable. If you want to start running I really suggest buying a pair of sneakers that are specifically for running. These are really nice and make running easier than just an ordinary shoe.

I'm still working up my stamina. I'm going slowly. I'm on my own program that I'm sort of creating as I am going along.......

Week 1: 

Walked @ 3.0 for .25 miles

Ran @ 5.0 for .25 miles

Walked @ 3.0 for .25 miles

Ran @ 5.0 for .25 miles

Total of 1 Mile

Week 2:

Walked @ 3.5 for .20 miles

Ran @ 5.2 for .30 miles

Walked @ 3.5 for .20 miles

Ran @ 5.2 for .30 miles

Total of 1 Mile

Week 3:

Walked @ 3.5 for .20 miles

Ran @ 5.5 for .30 miles

Walked @ 3.5 for .20 miles

Ran @ 5.5 for .30 miles

Total of 2 Miles

So week 3 is where I am at right now.......where I am at the end of the week
seems to be determining how I will up the workout the following week. My over all goal is to first run 3 miles and second be able to run the 3 miles in 30 minutes. Hopefully by the end of the Summer I can do a 5k, that would be fun!!
