Day 4

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

I am surprisingly not sore at all from last night's run. I really expected to feel it today. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that I am not hurting today, but its a bit of a shock. Tonight is an "Easy 30 Minute Walk" day, but I'm gonna bump up my speed to 3.2 mph instead of 3 mph which is what I did last time. I've gotta start upping my speed on the walk days so that I work on my speed overall.

I've put some Under Armour Cold Gear, new running shoes and the Nike+ sensor on my Amazon.com wish list, but I'm afraid its too close to Christmas to get any of it. We'll see. It'd be nice though so I don't have to buy the stuff. One way or the other, after Christmas I'm gonna be getting all of the above so I can start (kinda) comfortably training outside at least once a week, maybe twice.

I have a love/hate relationship with the treadmill. I love that I can run inside and now deal with the cold, but its so boring and I know that its not the same as outside training. I have learned that I can't run and watch TV...I'm a music and run kinda gal. It keeps me much more focused and the beat helps me keep pace.

I'll do another post later tonight with my thoughts of doing the 30 minutes at a 3.2 mph pace. :)
