Day 12 of 20, done. Treadmill, 40 mins. Alternated between walking/incline/running. Nice. No dog walk . . . freakin stupid cold windy weather. Warmer tomorrow but rain all day.

I hadn't done any real running in maybe 8 weeks, first due to a hip problem and then when I wasn't allowed to do cardio for 4-5 weeks, and I've been nervous to get started again... but last night I just decided to go for it, and ran 4 miles straight on the treadmill! That equals the longest run I've ever done (and only once before), so I was pretty pleased with myself.

chickadee --- how great is that? I'm working my way up to running for extended periods of time. I'm so out of sorts working out on the treadmill though. . . . How fast do you run?

Day 13 of 20, don. 50 min. Gilad total body workout, focusing on buttocks, shoulders/back and cardio. It's On Demand, which is nice, but since their exercise.tv stuff is gone (they went belly up) they use stuff from the Fit/Healthy channel. Commercials kinda suck but you can ff through them. Unexpectedly got in a 1.5 mile dogs walk . . . beat the rain by about 45 min. Just gotta love that doplar radar!
Chickadee- Way to go on the 4 mile run lady! That is awesome.
Loose seal- I say boo to the treadmill. I always fell like a good quarter of my energy and focus is stuck on staying upright on the stupid machine. Of course it does spare me from freezing temps while running. So maybe I should be a bit nicer to the thing.

Thank you, loose seal, Thinsole and gardenerjoy! loose seal, I run SLOW... the other night at 4.5mph with no incline. Before I had gotten up to 4.8mph on the treadmill with 2% incline, and when I would run outside I would always end up doing about 5.2mph (and wearing myself out much faster in the process). I am going to keep it slow for a while I think and work on increasing the incline, and then up the speed with the incline low again, etc. to try to increase my stamina and speed over time. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to running, lol.
