Baby Steps

I've never jogged before....When ever I tried in the past, I'd be huffing and puffing. Today, I felt like trying, I played some good music,really loud and pushed the buttons up to 4.8 and jogged. It beeped and said " it will take 13 minutes to reach 1 mile". I said to myself "push for half mile." I pushed, then I walked incline for .25 of a mile at 3.6 incline at 10, then i brought it back down for the remainder quarter and walked flat road for .25, then I said... I got enough breath, and jogged again. 7 minutes later and a full half mile i was still going, until my BF stood behind me waiting to go swimming, I slowed myself down, but Seriously... I was Jogging!!! And I feel I could have jogged longer!

I've been spinning a lot lately for the past 2 months, and I think I've worked my endurance up, or got a pretty decent breathing technique going.

I think tomorrow, I'm going to get back on that treadmill and jog some more.... push for half mile again and see how much further i can run before needed a breather walk.

Not much of a success story, but it's baby steps.

I'm 204 lbs and 5'4.

Running is so not me that when my BF walked up the stairs he heard me huffing, and saw legs running/jogging, he said to himself " chick running, wheres Rachel." Then he said he looked up from the legs as he was progressing up the stair case and saw me and was shocked. He then stood behind me and just watched.

I kept going until I hit the half mile then I slowed my pace.

So I am pretty excited about this.

I figured baby steps- tomorrow a half mile, by next weekend a full mile and onward.
