I have decided that my lazy time is about over, and I need to not get fat again. I have gained a little weight since I ended my running career last year, and am already feeling a bit lethargic. So as a result, I will start running again. I don't think I plan on training for an event yet though. I just think its about time to get my base set again. So here is my plan:
Run 3 days a week until I can get up to a 3 mile full run without a time goal.
Then start training for a 5k again.
Today, I woke up early and plodded slowly out to the treadmill to do a run. As it really has been over a year since I have seriously ran last, I figured I will have lost a little endurance. Boy did I. I intended on a 30 minute workout nonetheless. I warmed up with a brisk 5 minute walk at 2% grade, and then upped to 4.6 mph and jogged a quarter mile. After reinserting my heart into my chest, I slowed down and walked another half mile and ran a half. I did that for about 20 minutes and then cooled down for 5 minutes on a slow walk.
I am definitely out of shape, and am sure I will be feeling a bit of muscle soreness later this week, but it is a start nonetheless. Now....I just need to keep the motivation, and the alarm clock set.
Wish me luck!
