Last night at the gym I didn’t have my ipod so as fate had it, a yoga class was starting up when I got there. I haven’t gotten to yoga as much as I’d like, in college I was a yoga fiend. I really had a good workout and concentrated a lot on balance and my ankles which has been sore lately (especially my right one).
After an hour of yoga I wasn’t quite ready to leave the gym. I hate going to the gym these days and not running. I knew it was getting late so I told myself I’m gonna run 1 mile as fast as I can. For a while my goal has been a ten minute mile and I am happy to report I ran the mile in 10:04 – I must confess I took a 30 second breather/water break 5 minutes into it, but still not too shabby. I also must confess that as soon as I was done with my mile I really thought I was going to puke. I had to briskly walk outside in the cold air and breathe for a moment.
Regardless, I am going to slowly try and incorporate running til I nearly puke for 1 mile into my running routine.
Also I’d like to note I’m down a few more lbs. The numbers I see on the scale are more and more positive reinforcement and I love it. I’m nearly down 15 pounds since the start of 2010, but it’s a sloooooow process. I’m dropping about 1-2 lbs a week, but rewarding regardless!
