New Treadmill

HI Ya!!

I’m not sure if I told you but I got a new treadmill…I have never owned a treadmill in my life– amazing for a runner/fitness guru like me– but it’s true. I got a TRUE brand used treadmill and it’s great!!

I used it for the first time today since it was COLD and VERY wet outside~

So the time was 40 mins total– I didn’t run the entire time and had a couple breaks in there~

2% Incline:

6 mins walking 4 mins at 6mph 1min@6mph 1mim@7mph 1min@8mph

Then I paused the tread mill so I could go change my shoes- My Addidas have been hurting my foot the past 3 months when I try to run in them– I tried and they failed me again.

I put on some other NIKE’s that i haven’t hardly worn- I bought them last year

1.5 min@ 6mph 1mim@7mph 1min@8mph

Then I paused the treadmill AGAIN, so I could change my shoes once more– I went to my “stand by” worn out pair of R4’s– I love them! Nike stopped making them and I’m in a shoe crisis!

Got back to it~

1 min@ 6mph 1mim@7mph 1min@8mph

3:20 @9mph (6:40/mi pace)= 800m after 1 min @6mph HR was still around 140

1 min@ 6mph 1mim@7mph 1min@8mph

1:40 @9mph =400m; HR @ 150-160

2 min@ 6mph Increased Incline to 3% 1min@7mph 3:45min@8mph(7:30/mi pace)=800m finished at the time of 36:35 HR @ 160 final 3:15 @6mph and 2% grade

Total of 40 mins on treadmill

So…to combat my shoe issues I

Found some r4’s to buy tonight– they are girls’ size so we’ll see if they work~

After the run I did Dead Lifts, Squats and some Abs.

I did 3-4 sets of each with only 95#’s– I’m still so sore from Monday I didn’t want to “push it” too hard. Next week’s training will be much better. I also realize I can’t handle only lifting 2 days a week. More than likely I’ll switch to a full body workout plan where I’ll be lifting 3 days a week in addition to my track training.

FYI~ I’ve named our contest– “ASS ASSAULT”– sorry for the “bad word”…but I don’t actually consider it a bad word– I like asses!

Abs and Ass are My two favorite topics
