If any of you have been following me on here, you know I quit smoking 7 weeks ago and re-began my journey to being fit. As my tag says, I want to be my most fit at 40.
Part of this journey is losing fat, of course, and the other part is fixing my cardiovascular fitness. High blood pressure and heart problems run in my family. So, it is VERY important to me. (Side not, I'm now off my blood pressure meds.)
So, I was going to take it easy today and just enjoy MY DAY. But, I got up this morning and asked myself what was the best gift I could give myself on my 40th birthday. My 40th year! The year I plan on getting my most fit. That gift my friends, was the best run I've ever had in my life. I know it's not all running but I go for the most distance I can get in 30-40 minutes. I can run @ 5 mph for an hour but like to keep it shorter than that. I know it's not a spectacular run compared to a lot of people on here, but it's the best I've ever done and I'm sooooooooo proud of it. Here it is:
3 mph warm-up: 5 min
7 mph run: 5 min
4 mph walk: 5 mn
7 mph run: 5 min
4 mph walk: 5 min
5 mph run: 5 min
3 mph cool-down: 5 min
Total Distance: 2.76 miles
Total Time: 35 minutes
Minute Mile: 12.7
Total Calories Burned: 393
Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!
