I finally started week 3 for the second time. I planned on starting Monday but it was pouring rain when I got off work. I had plans for later in the day so I didn't start. I decided to wait it out and start today when I could go to the gym. It was more crowded today than I have EVER seen it! I know things will get back to normal in a few weeks though.
I was pleased to see that I dropped a few pounds over the summer (today was the first time I weighed myself since May). I was pretty pleased with my run. I did a total of 2 miles. I started off walking at 3.6 or something along those lines and I started running at 5. Each interval I would increase by 0.1. I know it's not a lot but I don't want to push myself too hard. I know that's why I've always hated running before. I used to run at least 6.5 mph and I would get very frustrated with myself because I couldn't make it very far. I know I'm capable of working faster but I'm just going to pace myself so I can reach my goal! I'll most likely run again tomorrow to try to get caught up so I can start week 4 next week.
Group fitness classes on campus also start next week. I'm so excited for these. They are free for students so I try to take advantage of them every semester. There is a great abs class,"absolutions". I plan on trying to go to about twice a week. It only lasts 15 minutes but it's pretty intense. Another class I really like is "Rock Bottom". It is a 55 minute class that works everything below the waist. It is only once a week on Thursdays. I would like to try a few new classes that I haven't tried before. I think I will try to go on one of these classes on days I don't run.
