This is the first update to my becoming a runner.
Day 1. Sunday 8/28
I did not plan on walking today. I wanted to see where I was at.
I keep my pace up for 90% of the walk. I only stopped once. I forgot to talk my water and I could tell dehydration was starting. I pushed on. I continued my pace and was feeling good until mile 2. This was my goal. It should have been back to the starting point. I took a wrong turn somewhere along the path. I had to add a half mile to the workout. I took it easy, but found myself going back to the pace I had before.
I did do very small runs ( about 15 secs) and they felt good.
When I last ran in February (run 2 walk 1) I had a pace of 25:08 per mile. Today with a more effort I had a pace of 18:45 per mile. The difference was my walk effort. This maybe why I could not move the needle last time.
I hope this week to return to where I left off. I am going to add cardio into the plan.
I will not be updating this daily. I am thinking on a weekly bases.
I am looking forward to this journey
