Torrential down pour when you get home from work doesn't exactly equal running outside... Nor does a crazy hyper toddler who is attached to your hip! Being that I didn't even start to think about running until 9 PM, it didn't give me much hope for completing today's task (Running for 25-30 min)! I decided to run on the treadmill downstairs... went down there but the belt kept slipping on me and kept jerking my body around.. so I gave up and came upstairs.. Then my husband suggested using Wii Fit but it was taking too long to set up and then it would only let me do a short run.. and I don't know about you but running in place for 30 minutes isn't exactly my idea of fun!
So I grabbed my iPhone and headphones and told my husband that if I didn't return in 30 minutes, come looking for me.. I took my out of shape ass and headed out the door @ 9:30 PM! Not the smartest thing I have ever done, but I was back in 31 mins and 34 seconds (thanks to Nike +)!
I am definitely tired, but more proud of this run then my first. I thought I was going to walk for 10, run for 10 and then walk for 10.. but I ended up: running 10, walking 5, running 10 and walking 6 *until I got home*! Definitely a great start.. I feel much better about today!
I also found that when you run the timed programs (on Nike +) it gives you the 5 minute intervals (letting you know how much time you have left).... At 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min marks, I clapped my hands and said you've got this! Self motivation! Gotta have some!
....I'm sure I'm going to hurt in the morning...
