On sunday I decided that I would do the same 5 day challenge this week as I did last week. {After all, at this point it's mostly about creating that habit of getting up and working out every morning.} Well, yesterday came, my alarm went off and I hit snooze. The next thing I knew, it was 6:15! Not enough time to get in my workout. Boo.
Well, I didn't want there to be a repeat today, so I made sure to get to bed early. {even though my jayhawks were playing mizzou! that's a major sacrifice my friends!} I got up this morning and thought, I'm just going to walk, I don't think I can handle running. Then, I got on the treadmill and decided to alternate every 1/4 mile between running and walking. Then I got in the first 1/4 mile of running and thought, well, maybe I'll do 1/4 mile walk/1/2 mile run. Then I got to 1/2 mile and thought, maybe I can do a mile. Got to a mile, then went for 2. Got to 2, then decided to just run it out to 30 minutes. I ended up putting in 2.5 miles of running {all at once I might add} and 1/2 mile of walking. I ROCKED IT! I was so proud of myself. It's amazing the difference in my attitude from the time I roll out of bed to the time I'm done with my workout!
Now I've set the bar for the week...hope I can keep it up! I'd like to get in at least 2.5 miles a day for the remainder of the work week and one workout this weekend. That will make up for pooping out yesterday.
Todays distance: 3 miles
