WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! After several weeks of total bummishness and business, I finally promised my facebook audience of over 400 friends that I would get off my couch and take my expanding booty downstairs to jog tonight. Not only did I do it, I ROCKED it!!! For the 3rd time in my life, I jogged 3 miles without any walking!!!!!! And the best part is that I feel like I am truly making progress. Obviously, I would be doing much better had I not taken almost three weeks off, but I feel good about tonight. I did the first two miles with relative ease and didn't really feel like I was close to dying until the last lap. Even then I was able to keep a pretty consistant speed and after walking a cool down lap had energy left over. :) I can't believe I am saying this, but I am starting to think I could really seriously make a hobby out of jogging. Now that it isn't so insanely hard, I feel better when I jog: less like a fat slug and more like a productive, young person. It's awesome! Plus, as best as I can remember it - this is the only athlete based goal I have had since making the drill team my freshman year in high school that I am actually confident that I can achieve :) YAY ME!!!!
Break down:
1st lap: 6:54 - j
2nd lap: 13:02 - j
3rd lap: 19:20 - j
4th lap: 25:56 - j
5th lap: 6:11 - j
6th lap: 12:17 - j
For a grand total of 38.13 minutes :) I really need to get a watch that will run over 30 minutes - Not too bad for a girl who not too long ago would have laughed hysterically at the idea of being able to jog this much or even wanting to jog this much. My goal is to trim this down to 6 minute laps for a total of 36 minutes for the whole 3 miles. That's only 2.13 minutes to loose. If I keep up with regular jogs, I can do it :)
