Lesley's Running Blog

Three mile treadmill run. Did one of the pre-programmed intermediate workouts. Most of the time I felt like I should up the pace a bit, but I was worried if I did speed up it would cause me to need to take a break. So yes, I completed 3 full miles without stopping, even if it was slower.

The workout was a warmup, 1 min @6mph (2.0 incline), 30 seconds @5.5mph(3.0 incline), 1min @6mph, 30 sec @5.5mph and so on. Followed by a cooldown.

Felt like a good workout and one that will help me get faster.

Met up with friend and our double strollers to go for a walk. Weather was gorgeous. Nice to get out, even with all the kids. My friend is 14 weeks pregnant so we didn't push it too hard, but anything is better than nothing. We walked for 45 min or so.

Came home and did Holly's workout.

30 sec Line Shuffle (10ft)

20 V-ups

30 sec Line Shuffle

20 Plank

30 sec Line Shuffle

30 mountain climbers

30 sec Line Shuffle

30 Full Superman

3 min Rest

Repeat.

14:50. Including rest time. But I completely modified the v-ups or I would never have finished the workout. I felt like I was struggling with form on the first set, so instead I did "suitcase" situps the second set. My ab muscles are still getting back into shape. 64 shuffles.

Three mile church loop. Felt pretty good.

Three mile reverse church loop. Not sure where else to run around here yet. I need to charge my watch and hold myself accountable for any walk breaks I take, but for now just getting out is a plus.
