So much for running regularly. Today is the first time I've been to the gym since early last week. So much has been happening lately. Classes are back in full swing and I'm not, as a result I'm falling behind. I've been sick on and off. I've had an awful ache in my neck/shoulder area for the past 5 or 6 days. I could keep on and on with the excuses. I've been meaning to get back to the gym but other things get put first. I think the wake up call was when we decided to move the wedding up about 3 months. I no longer have until Feb. to go dress shopping! I'm very excited about our new date but I know losing 3 months of planning is bound to stress me out at some point. Running is one of the best forms of stress relief that I know of (at least the best form of stress relief that is safe).
Anyway, today I started my warm up at 4 mph then I ran at 5.5 mph. I was determined to make it past a mile straight. I pushed and pushed myself and I did it! I ran 1.25 miles straight. I walked 1/8 mile to catch my breath then ran another 1/2 mile. I think I'm going to slowly work down the walking time so I can run at this speed for about 25 minutes straight, then I'll work on increasing the speed. I did 2.5 miles total today in 31 minutes. I can deal with that :-)
