It's 7am and I already got in some exercise for the day! Like I said I would, I set my alarm for 5:20 this morning. When it went off I seriously contemplated re-setting it for 6:45 when I would really have to be up by, and going back to sleep. So I pushed snooze once, then when it went off again I decided I would get up and go pee, then see how I felt. A banana, a bottle of water and 30 minutes later I was out the door. I followed the same path that I did Saturday morning. Up Ling Road, down Greenleaf to the Parkway Trail, then the Parkway Trail to Dewey and home. It makes a nice little loop for me. If I don't count my cool down time, it 2.38 miles exact. Saturday I did it in 32:49 minutes. Today I did it is 32:00 exact. So I shaved off 49 seconds! It's not much, but a little at a time should do the trick!
I think my plan is (but my plans change a lot!) to keep going this same route and try and get faster at it by increasing my jogging time and decreasing my walking time on it. Eventually I will be able to jog the whole thing, and then when I can do that - I should be able to do a 5K! At least that is how my brain is figuring this out. :) Haha It feels great to have it done! Now I just want to see the numbers on the scale going down, down down. So far I haven't lost anymore weight. :( I have been on track with my calories though, so if it doesn't start changing soon I will have to make some more changes to my plan. I know that I need to be doing more weight training, it's just that the place to do that is the gym for me and it is so hard to get there in the evenings. Maybe if I got the motivation to wake up a little earlier I could go there one morning instead of my outside "run". Now it's time to start the rest of my day!
