Workout Update

I am eventually going to get back to posting stuff other then my workout updates. My internet at home stinks, so I have to try to fit it in during the day, which doesn't always work out in my favor. I plan on posting some blogs about my tips on weight loss & how to become a runner/jogger soon. So stay tuned.

Activity: Outside Run
Distance: 2.4 miles
Pace: 11'02 (getting better yah!)
Time: 26:33
Calories Burned: 321
Overall: It was a good run. It's tough getting back in to long runs after taking a few weeks off. I probably could have ran longer but I was hot. I am new to running and running in 80 degrees is something I am going to have to get used to. I got really thirsty and I don't like to stop to take a drink. Maybe I should invest in one of those belts that holds your water bottle. Just not sure I could adjust to running with that. I love a good run. Sometimes I have to push myself, like today that first mile was hell, but the rest was a breeze.

*Again I want to note I am not including my warm up/cool down or stretching in my time. Those are not optional to me. I try to do a 2-3 minute brisk walk at the beginning and a slower pace walk at the end. I always stretch before and after each run .
