Today Michelle and I decided to attempt a full 3 miles. She is training for a 5k in January and I haven't done a 5k since Novemeber 2nd when I attempted it in honor of the October 2nd Race for the Cure. :) Yes, I am a dork. Anyways - I am depressed at my results. Pacing Michelle wore me out and I ended up having to walk a bit to keep my chest from exploding. Again, I had to wave her on and meet her at the end. She has this need to finish her race in approximately 35 minutes because she heard somewhere that people can walk that distance in 40 minutes. I did the Race for the Cure in 39.44 minutes. Of course that was dodging a ridiculous number of people and waiting for my two friends. I am condifident that I could have finished quicker. Anyways - I am so out of practice that I can't now. I did my 3 miles in 39:09 minutes with the walking. That is not good. I had been averaging 12 minute miles, now - not so much. I have done this to myself, but I am basically going to almost have to start over with my training. Anyways - here is the breakdown:
1st mile - 12:56 minutes
2nd mile - 26:20 minutes
3rd mile - 39:09 minutes

In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
