Next of Kin

I am working on the FITS method, can’t remember what that stands for will find out for next post but anyway the gist is to run less and run faster, OK you don’t run less distance just less days! you actually run mmore miles on the run days and considerably faster, and then on the 2 days you dont run you are supposed to ride a bike or row. i hate the exercise bike and cant afford a rowing machine so barn work and riding will have to count for now. The sprint repeats are really hard, I feel as though I am really training and I am getting faster. I run 5 miles at either a constant 9min 30 sec mile or sprint repeats at about 8.30, sprints are 3/4 mile, 4 or 5 repeats with mile warm up and cool down. I will either get fitter or drop down dead. Better get my will in order. I can just picture the exercise ball debacle, thought I was going to fall off the treadmill when i tried to run kicking my butt, decided to do it at the walk instead, even that is hard. keep it up all, it will be spring soon!!!!! mum

Haven’t been able to run because it’s insanely cold outside right now. Hopefully my progress picks up a bit when the temperature does.

I was thinking of using some sort of chart to gauge my progress but I’m not sure what it’ll be. Something like:

• Total Time: X minutes
• Total Jogging Time: Y minutes
• Total Distance (est): Z miles

I got to run today! I made it 2 1/2 miles running 3/4 mile walking 1/4 mile. My most gracious move was after I got off the treadmill. I decided to do abs on the exercise ball, bad move. I fell off it, actually it shot out from underneath me and my butt slammed into the concrete floor of the garage. Good thing no one saw me!
I hope everyone had a good day

And…here we are.  WordPress up and running. Ready for exciting posts about how painful it is to try and get into shape for running a marathon relay!
