Run, Run, Run, Run, Runaway

January 4, 2015

Cardio was the name of the game for today's workout. On my outline Brett made me, today I needed to find a pin that would give me 20 minutes of cardio, something like interval running, kettlebell swings, something varied. Since my chest was still sore, I opted for running and found the pin titled "Treadmill Workout." http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271107882679/

The pin said it will "flatten your belly, slim your thighs, and firm your butt in 2 weeks! Try it! :)".  Well ok then, count me in.

Since I've not run in a while, and even when I do run, 7 is fast, I knocked down the speeds on the faster sides. I did anything marked 6 and a 5, and a 7 was a 6. Even with lowering the speeds, I still did about 1.75 miles. I walked about 3 extra minutes at 3.5 at the end as a cool down. Then I stretched out when I was done (just as I did before I started). In total, it took me around a half hour.  If I continue to use this pin for my cardio days, I may eventual get up to the 6.5 and 7, but for now, this asthmatic can't do it.  I'm back to school tomorrow, so my workouts will drop to after school/early evening.
