Running that is! I burned so many extra calories this morning because I
chose to do the "Hill" program on the treadmill. I chose to do level 5
out of 20 and WOW am I glad I didn't go higher than that :)
I decided my body needed a change up. Running 4 miles on a treadmill is easy when you are running flat with no obstacles right!? I start at a 0 and go to 2.1, 3.4, 4.7. HOLY SHMOLY! It actually was easier when I ran faster! I pushed 5.2mph running uphill and bumped it down to 4.9/5.0 when at 0. I was SO exhausted that I only made it to 3 miles LoL. I then did a run/walk combo for that final mile. I had to finish that 4 miles today some how! I got at 3.9 and then i broke out into a sprint! I was seriously burning rubber off my shoes I was going so fast! It felt amazing and it was JUST what I needed!
I really was starting to freak out last week for fear of a relapse into my old ways, but I did it and I am back! I did not do my 30DS last night.....I have to do something! I'll figure it out somehow :)
As a side note, my daughter starts her dance class this Friday! She is so excited and I am excited for her! I will keep you posted!
Ok, I am out of here for a very busy day! Gotta get in all of my steps! :)

... no, running 4 miles on the treadmill is NOT easy :)
ReplyDeleteI'll usually get in 10+ miles on the elliptical each day, but I have to break it down into several sessions. I used to walk on the treadmill at a steep incline, but I don't do that much anymore. I'm usually counting the minutes until I'm done on the treadmill ... I just want to take my shoes off!
