NSV - I can talk!

cls413

Today my husband and I both went to the Y. It's been a few weeks since we've gone together, and about a month ago we were on ellipticals, side by side, and he actually thought we'd be able to have a conversation. Ha! It took all my focus just to keep breathing, and I had no extra breath to say more than a word response when he tried to talk to me.

Today he said one little thing, and I responded with a way longer answer than he was probably expecting. We went back and forth for a bit before I realized... I'm talking! And I'm not gasping for breath between each word! Which probably means that I could have been pushing myself harder -- in fact I know I could -- but I was definitely not "phoning it in" either. My HR was up around 160 which is about as high as I like to push it unless it's just for a short burst.

Pretty soon I'll be one of those girls I see doing 7 mph on the treadmill and chatting away like it's nothing! (Okay, probably not...)

Yay! Congrats on your NSV!!!


P.S. I tried to have a conversation, a short one, with a friend while running on 7.2 and whew it was so hard. Don't try to get out more than a sentence haha.
