Yesterday, I lost the alarm clock battle and slept in and didn't run. So as a result, I got up today and ran. I am feeling a few aches from Tuesday's workout, as expected. Mostly some light hip pain. I decided it was mild enough though to try and do the run.
Thankfully my heart rate monitor decided to work today, albeit intermittently at first. I got on the treadmill and did a 5 minute warm up, with the intent of running/walking another mile or so and cooling down, such as I did Tuesday. After my warm up, I started running. I focused on keeping my heart rate between 150-170 and before I knew it, I had run a mile and half without stopping. So I cooled down for 5 more minutes and headed in to clean up.
That was the good. Now the ugly. I turned on my scale this morning and weighed myself. I weighed in at 203 lbs, which means that I have gained 23 lbs this last year. Yikes. I guess if I needed any motivation, that was it. I will endeavor to have that gone before June. Hah! At least I have a good measurable goal now.
Later!
