Ok, Day 1 and 2 are done. I was nervous going into this week. Today I ran 8 min., walk 5 min and run 8 min. I did it! My heartrate stayed about 153 bpm while running which is good. The 1st couple weeks my heartrate was near 187 while running! I also wasn't totally out of breath..what a change! Pray for me on Friday when I do the 20 minute run without walking!
My pace has slowed a little bit now that I am running longer periods of time:
Running: 5.1
Walking: 3.6
Total miles today was 2 miles and 205 calories.
I have also signed up for dailyburn.com. A friend sent the link to me and if you are interested let me know because if 3 friends sign up then I can get a "pro" membership for 1 month free. The site itself is very nice. You put in your weight, your height and your goals (mine is to lose 50 pounds) and it will tell you how many calories to eat and how long it will take to get to your goal. If I eat 2,000 calories a day I will lose the 50 pounds in 39 weeks...that is about 1.01 pounds a week. I would like to lose it in 1/2 that time but I know that is probably stretching it :). You can also track your exercise, food intake and weight loss. I joined the "lose 50 pound" challenge...dont' know what that will do for me but we will see :). Again, let me know if you are interested or want to check it out...it is completely FREEEEEE!
