A New Day

I feel like things might be turning around. Although I haven't lost any weight yet, I've gone to Pump 4 times, and I'm almost done with week number 4 on my Running plan. I was going to go to Pump this morning, but I have an interview at the same time as class, so I guess it will be tomorrow morning! I'm really excited and nervous about the interview because getting this job would be a step towards my goals and at 29 I really need that step. I have a free weekend, aside from all the homework and celebrating Don's birthday but I have a lot of working out planned during that time as well.

On Wednesday I did intervals of 5 minutes jogging and 2 minutes walking. Today I bump it up again (either today or Sunday, I have to look) but it's getting harder and easier at the same time.... if that makes any sense. Running is getting easier but it's harder every time because I'm always doing more than the last time. Last time I kept the intervals at about 5.5 mph so I wouldn't get too tired too fast. I figure I can work on speed once I get the endurance part down.

Today we bring Gracie in for her big procedure. I will miss her a lot today but also plan on getting a lot done without her distracting me!

I'm glad you're staying positive about your running goals even though you aren't seeing results on the scale. My weight has remained the same for the last several weeks and I hate it. But good work on your running goals. I don't think I could copy this goal -- the 2 minute sprints at 6.0 are all that I can take. I did one for 2:30 on Saturday and that was enough. I agree you'd have to slow down in order to make it through.
Keep going!
