Today's Workout

Treadmill: 5.28 miles, 815 calories, 70 minutes

Elliptical: 30 minutes, 415 calories

Today felt really good. I really could have almost kept going but Husband was just getting home and I knew he was ready for dinner (plus I had to hear all about his first day!) so I got to some even numbers and called it quits.

I am pretty proud of myself though. I generally try to run 1 mile straight through somewhere in my workout to see what my time is. Today I did it in 11:50. Which is not super great, but for me it is pretty darn good! I'll take it, considering when I first started running awhile ago I could barely even make it a mile straight with no breaks. The rest of the time I usually run/jog as much as possible, but take 1-2 minute walking breaks when I feel like my legs are going to give out on me.

I've also found that after I have been doing it for 30 minutes is when I really hit my 'prime' I guess you could say. The first 30 minutes are hard. Thinking about those first 30 minutes is usually what makes me want to not run at all. It takes me awhile to get my breathing in check and for the shin splints to come and go, but then after that, I can really push myself to go faster speeds and do some good sprints.

Oh - and I used my new headphones and they are amazing! I couldn't even tell I was wearing them, even after an hour. Amazeballs!
