Days 228-230

So, for two of these days I have no excuse. Pretty much just being lazy - again. On day 230 though, Michelle and I ventured back out to the park to try our luck at speeding up a shorter jog. As Jon has suggested in the past running shorter distances faster can help build muscles, whereas slower longer runs simply burn calories. Thus, we have decided to try alternating between the two options. This week we did 1.5 as fast as we could. I am not thrilled with my time. I was trying to keep pace with Michelle who is in much better shape and jogs much quicker than I do, so I thought for a bit that I was going to die. Instead, I waved Michelle on and told her I would meet her at the finish line. I ended up doing my 1.5 miles in 15.31 minutes. Which isn't too far off from what I had been doing previously. It is still not great though and I definitely need to improve. Michelle did her's in 14.30 minutes. I will get there - eventually.
