Breanna's Running Blog

I ran on the treadmill again today. Today was a much better experience then yesterday. I stretched about 10 minutes beforehand just like yesterday and then started running. I put the treadmill on 1.5 incline and started slower then yesterday and then increased the speed every minute. It took me 10:33 to finish the mile but it felt very easy and went by quickly. My heart rate at the end was 161 so much better than 192 yesterday. After the run I stretched for about 10 more minutes and then did 25 crunches and 5 push-ups ( I have REALLY weak arms but I have to start somewhere I guess). Now I'm just wondering what I should do from here. I'm going to do at least one more day of only a mile and hopefully a bit faster than today but I'm not sure if I should keep doing the mile till I'm able to do it at 8:00 comfortably or if I should add a mile and stay at a slower pace.

Today I did a little bit of a warm up in the school and then a little bit more outside. Then I went back inside and did strides. I did 2x8 strides. They felt good. I like being able to run and get my heart rate back up, that's the hardest part of not running. We also did a few weights. My legs are very sore but that is just because I am out of shape. It's all good soreness no aches or pains that are worrisome so that is encouraging. Tomorrow I'll do some pool running and hopefully I can be back in shape in no time. I just have to remember to be patient so I don't hurt myself.

Today I took it easy and pool ran for 20 minutes and then did a little bit of core work with weights.

Today I went for a run from my house. This is the furthest I've went at once since I've started doing things again. It was only 1.6 miles and it took me 16:57. I ran from my house to the golf course and then did a short loop at the golf course and headed back. The golf course was still covered in snow so most of the run was done through the snow which probably slowed me down a bit but that's ok because it's just good that I'm out doing anything. I'll do a little bit of core work later today.
