Podrunner W1D2

I'm going to get straight to the point today, the run was awesome! I made up my mind before I left the house that I would do 15 minutes on the bike and then do my podrunner intervals. I did what I set out to do. I ran/walked on the treadmill today, why you ask? I woke up this morning to some serious snow. I was really looking forward to taking my baby girl with me on my run but with lots of snow, then rain, I decided to just go to the gym. I wonder does running on the treadmill give me less of a work out. The run seemed a little easier even with my shins hurting the whole time. Am I the only woman in the world that loves to sweat? I love how it feels when I am running, walking, biking or even lifting to the point where I am sweating! I felt so accomplished today! This is the first time that working out felt like "me" time. I usually want to take my daughter with me to work out but now I think I might enjoy just having that time to focus on me EVERYDAY. This means that I am going to have to go work out at about 5am. I am going to have to tweak my work out plan yet again. I started Podrunner on Friday but I may need to run on two consecutive days to switch my routine around so that I am not doing Zumba class on a run day.... or maybe not. Well, see, I never realized how much thought and effort goes into having a healthy lifestyle. Maybe I just over think things. Anyway, thanks for reading. See you tomorrow!

  1. I would say if you are worried about the treadmill not giving as much of a workout trying increasing the incline. I would start at a 0.5 til you get the swing of things-as it gets easier increase the incline.
