I'm kinda like Donovan Bailey without the roid rage

Haven’t really had a quality NSV in a while but this past weekend I was visiting with friends of friends whom I don’t see too often and the one girl kept telling me how good I look. I really like her! I was wearing black; I was pretty deceiving really… I will have to wear a corset under my outfit the next time I see her to continue to get the positive feedback, but I am okay with that.

Anyhoo…I was chatting with one of my bff’s a few weeks back and she was asking me what my goals were, not in terms of weight loss but more so physically with my endurance. I hadn’t really put a lot of thought into that before so she and I established a few on the phone for ourselves. My birthday is less than 3 months away and we’re both using that date as our first measuring stick. She had gotten into running in the past few years but has recently been slacking in that dept. so she wants to be able to run 10 k by May 4. I, on the other hand, have never been able to run, but it is something I hope to do one day. Therefore my goal is a little bit, okay, a lot a bit smaller than hers. My goal is to be able to run for 20 minutes straight on the treadmill.

So I have started working towards that. On Friday and Saturday I walked for 2 and ran for 2 for a total of 20 minutes. So I am 50% there I guess…although the hardest part will be the endurance of running for more than 2 minutes at any given time. I will continue to do this 2 and 2 method for the remainder of the week and then move up on the weekend to 1 minute walking, 2 minutes running to see how that goes. From everything I have read, this type of approach to learning to run seems to work the best.

I will keep you all posted on that as it progresses…have a great day and as my new lulu lemon water bottle says, “Love your Life!”
