I have never posted twice in one day, but I forgot to post my running stats at the end of this morning's blog.
I also forgot to post them at the end of Annie's birthday blog.
So here is my update.
While running/jogging is still not easy,
I have started to develop of rhythm to my breathing.
I am not gasping for air anymore. Yeah!
I still find it hard to run 2 days in a row.
My body seems to need the extra time to recover.
While my legs still hurt, especially for the first 1/4 mile,
they don't ache for hours afterward anymore.

I'm happy with my progress.
It seems silly that an increase of 1/10 mile makes
a difference, but it does.
Little by little, I'm headed in the right direction!
That's so awesome, Mrs. S!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I can't do everyday, I also need the recovery. I can run every other day, but most of the time I run 3x a week.
ReplyDeleteHow far do you run, Leanne? I can't believe how much harder it is to do things at our age! I was thinking I had Muscular Dystrophy or something!
ReplyDeleteThings are definitely harder at our age, and it's really important to listen to our bodies! Right now, I'm on the treadmill (being the fair weather girl that I am!), so at the most it's 4 miles and that's on Sunday. During the work week it's 3 miles. Mentally it's very tough, and that's what holds me back from doing more on the treadmill. I look forward to longer runs in the spring. What I love most, and what keeps my weight where I want it, is running for an hour, 3x a week. A year and half ago I was training with a group for a 1/2 marathon, but my knee/IT band got in the way. I have one of those in me, I just know it! Someday.
